[Bug 657869] New: ATI radeonhd and KMS
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657869 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657869#c0 Summary: ATI radeonhd and KMS Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Milestone 4 of 6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nmo.marques@gmail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b7) Gecko/20101105 Firefox/4.0b7 I've downloaded the openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 4 GNOME Live DVD to install on my system and check out. I do own a ATI RV710/RV730 Graphic Chipset, therefore radeonhd is used. Unluckly for me the KMS is enabled by default. /etc/sysconfig/kernel has the following syntax out of the box: NO_KMS_IN_INITRD="yes" Hardware is normal x86-64. Installed version is also x86-64. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install milestone 4 GNOME Live DVD on a machine with ATI hardware (my case RV710/730) Actual Results: Sometimes GDM loads, but then explodes. Lots of errors on xorg logs trying to load imaginary fglrx drivers and can't draw objects on screen. Expected Results: Normal boot up. This behavior can be neutralized by adding the 'nomodeset' to kernel init line. If such action is taken, the system operates as expect. -- 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.

No. By default radeon is used for this GPU. Unless you manually configured it differently.
Unluckily for me the KMS is enabled by default.
In that case radeonhd would fail. So that can't be.
/etc/sysconfig/kernel has the following syntax out of the box: NO_KMS_IN_INITRD="yes"
Sometimes GDM loads, but then explodes. Lots of errors on xorg logs trying to load imaginary fglrx drivers and can't draw objects on screen.
That doesn't matter. The priority is: 1. fglrx (which fails non-fatal if doesn't exist) 2. radeonhd (which fails non-fatal when KMS is enabled) 3. radeon
This behavior can be neutralized by adding the 'nomodeset' to kernel init line. If such action is taken, the system operates as expect.
In that case you're using radeonhd driver. My guess is that radeon/KMS doesn't work for you. Could you attach the logfile /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old with all the errors you mentioned before? -- 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.
