X broke on me with recent updates. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? When I downgrade from xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-1.fc10.x86_64 to xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-63.fc10.x86_64 X started working again. Symptom: my login screen is blank. Ctrl-Alt-F2 works so at least some of X is working. I intend to Bugzilla this but more info from list subscribers would be useful. Longer story: Last night I updated my desktop. After reboot, the display is blank. Fedora 10 is running -- I'm typing this on a text console. But X isn't working. It seems that the problem was created by updates that were made available between 2009 Feb 3 @ 1:30AM EST (the date of my previous update) and 2009 Feb 7 @ 23:03 EST (this update). According to /var/log/yum.log, these are the xorg packages that were updated: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-1.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.1.1-1.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse-12.6.3-1.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-keyboard-1.3.2-1.fc10.x86_64 Sadly, yum.log does not seem to say what version was replaced. My bet is that the ati driver is the problem. Perhaps the previous version of drv-ati was: Dec 26 01:48:16 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-63.fc10.x86_64 Where are you supposed to find old update packages? xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-63.fc10.x86_64 is not on the original F10 DVD nor is it in up to date update mirrors. This would seem to be a bit problem. Luckily I found it on a slow-to-mirror mirror. I'm looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and comparing it with the log from the working setup. I will show the chunks of differences that I think are interesting. I did "diff -u Xorg.0.log.old Xorg.0.log" so lines prefixed by - are old, lines prefixed by + are new, and lines prefixed by a space are common. | (II) Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation" |- compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 6.9.0 |+ compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 6.10.0 The ATI driver went from 6.9.0.something to 6.10.0.something | (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so |- compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 6.9.0 |+ compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 6.10.0 I think that this is just the same thing. |-(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI ATI Radeon HD 3600 XT" (ChipID = 0x9598) |+(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon HD 3600 XT" (ChipID = 0x9598) Looks like a typo got fixed. I actually quoted this to show what my display hardware is.

I'm not sure which connector number I'm using. The card has no HDMI connector. It has two DVI connectors and an S-Video connector. One of the DVI connectors is Dual-Link, and that is what I'm using (my monitor requires dual-link). | (II) RADEON(0): Output: HDMI-0, Detected Monitor Type: 0 |-Dac detection success |+invalid output device for dac detection This doesn't look good. | (II) RADEON(0): Output: HDMI-0, Detected Monitor Type: 0 |-Dac detection success |+invalid output device for dac detection Seems like a repeat.
