I did an update. It said I should reboot.
After reboot, X does not come up.
I can flip to a text console: that's what I'm typing this into.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm running X86-66 Fedora 10. The video card is an Asus EAH3650
Silent Magic.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log shows some bad news:
(EE) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 enabled but has no modes
But I don't know why it says that. Preceding lines include:
(II) RADEON(0): Printing probed modes for output DVI-0
(II) RADEON(0): Modeline "2560x1600"x59.9 268.00 2560 2608 2640 2720 1600 1603 1609 1646 +hsync +vsync (98.5 kHz)
This is a correct modeline for the monitor
(II) RADEON(0): Output HDMI-0 disconnected
(II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 connected
(II) RADEON(0): Using exact sizes for initial modes
Eventually, it says:
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I don't know which update is the problem. Certainly one in the alst
few days.
It cannot be the actual X device driver because I didn't update that.
There is a driver update but I don't apply it because it does not
work on my system. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484636
The ati driver recognizes the video card as:
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI ATI Radeon HD 3600 XT" (ChipID = 0x9598)
The "ATI ATI" is a typo fixed in the current driver.
