[Bug 671282] New: Radeon driver broken in 11.4 RC1.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671282 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671282#c0 Summary: Radeon driver broken in 11.4 RC1. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: stiening@comcast.net QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Customer Blocker: Yes Broken Radeon driver makes install difficult. Screen is black most of the time with only occasional glimpses of install GUI. It might be safer to use frame buffer graphics for the install screens to faclilitate testing. My specific hardware is a motherboard integrated HD 4250 GPU. I have seen this behavior from time to time in the past with other versions of openSUSE but never with drivers directly downloaded from AMD. Frame buffer graphics works fine at 1600x1200. Windows 7 and openSUSE 11.3 do not have the problem described above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

By using the package manager to remove and reinstall the X11 Radeon driver I was able to make a system that worked with Radeon graphics.
This doesn't make sense. What did you uninstall and reinstall exactly? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To see if the KDE or X11 were responsible for the reported behavior I made the following test:
At the desktop selection screen I chose "Minimal Server Selection", i.e. text mode. That installation came to a halt at the installation submenu "Perform Installation" stage with the message:
"An error occurred during initrd creation." /sbin/mkinitrd illegal option -- s
Clicking on the OK resulted in the screen going blank.
Indeed that's unrelated to any X drivers ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I asked my monitor what resolution it was using while the last screen before the crash was displayed. It said 1920 x 1200. I thought that the maximum frame buffer resolution was 1600 x 1200.
Depends on the graphics card's BIOS. ==> hwinfo --framebuffer -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
