"ATI-cards: X: display stays dark: move /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf; look here for further instructions. "
. which forces to use the fbdev driver instead of trying to investigate issues with radeon or radeonhd driver. :-( Could you also attach Xorg.0.log without any xorg.conf in place? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hm, there's nothing that directly springs into my mind, the log seems sane.
Do I understand correctly, that with the xorg.conf from attachment #323063 [details] you get reasonable output?
Yes, notice however that in order to get this working xorg.conf I need to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install and /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and all the other xorg.conf* files) and then execute sax2 -r -m 0=radeonhd otherwise I'm stuck with on a blank screen. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The Problem exists not only on Radeon-Graphics. I don't think marking all "similar" bugs as DUPLICATE will work here, RadeonHD is one thing and the others are something else.
(In reply to comment #18)
The Problem exists not only on Radeon-Graphics. I haven't confirmed the latest packages work, if this does work then the other driver drivers must be corrupted somehow.
If this fix doesn't work then we can begin thinking in something in the server, however I still think the developers should mark the bugs as DUPLICATED/ORWHATEVER. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I fully agree here with Mario. Kris, I would like to ask you to stop your 'I close any X bug as duplicate of Bug #548328' action immediately. All these changes need to get reverted, they trigger a mail flood and are of no use at all.

I installed and tried again using the latest factory packages, didn't work; same results. Too bad this is happening. I will continue using 11.1.
You *can* use 11.2 with the xorg.conf from attachment #323063, right? If that is the case, I'd like you to perform a series of tests, where we strip the xorg.conf slowly but steadily into a form that resembles the automatic configuration. That way we'll find what's happening here, because the xorg.conf seems trivial enough so that I don't see what's wrong by just looking at it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is probably a duplicate of bug 547106. Can you please test the xorg-x11-driver-video package as described in that bug?
Can't be. That bug addresses an issue in radeon, but not radeonhd driver. Sorry for the confusion. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I reinstalled 11.2 (not using 11.2RC1), "sax2" nor "sax2 -r -m 0=radeonhd" don't work anymore. I had to rename xorg.conf.install to xorg.conf to make it work.
xorg.conf.install uses fbdev or vesa, not radeonhd. Again, does the xorg.conf from attachment #323063 work? You described in comment 17 that it does, however, comment 15 is misleading. Comment 30 states that sax2 isn't working anymore, but in comment 15 you contradict yourself. Sorry, but I'm completely lost now. I don't know what configuration on which system on which operating system works or not. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ok, that helps a lot. So we can reduce the issue to a change between 11.2RC1 and 11.2.
To make things absolutely clear: It *only* worked on 11.2RC1 with the specified xorg.conf. Without xorg.conf, it broke as well? Yes it worked on 11.2RC1, no xorg.conf freezes.
Yes, it would be a good idea to try using the old xorg.conf. You maybe also want to try adding Option "AccelMethod" "shadowfb" in the Driver section in xorg.conf (as a second test). I tested with and without this option, the results are kind of weird:
runlevel 3: - Option: works, kind of, because freezes "sometimes" I don't know why. - No Option: freezes. runlevel 5: - Option: freezes. - No Option: freezes. I guess this is going to be harder to fix, since logs don't say a thing, and no errors are printed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
