The problem did not exist on OpenSUSE 11.3. I am only seeing it on my secondary monitor (DVI connector) on my Samsung laptop, not on the laptop screen. Any hints would be appreciated. -- 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 am able to get rid of this problem by booting into runlevel 3 and startung X later. It's most probably a timing problem - the X server being started too quickly before the radeon driver is initialized. -- 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.

Whether or not KMS is successfully activated is a timing question - if radeon is loaded early enough before X is started, it works. However, Alejandro's case seems to be different. @Alejandro, you should provide more data for debugging. Start the kernel with parameter "drm.debug=4" and attach dmesg and Xorg.0.log. -- 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.

Reports against openSUSE 11.4 and prior will not get the attention needed to resolve them before openSUSE 12.2 is release and openSUSE 11.4 becomes unmaintained. Please re-test with openSUSE 12.1 or openSUSE RC2+ and re-open with an updated Product if you still encounter your issue. We apologize for this issue not getting the attention it deserves but we are focusing our resources in the area where they will have the most impact for our users. We're working hard to make openSUSE 12.2 the best openSUSE release yet! -- 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.
