Folks,
we just tried an install on a Panasonic CF-52 (TOUGHBOOK laptop) using an ATI
Radeon X2100.
1) had to install in text mode because X is just black screen.
2) after install startx results in the same situation. (consistency is nice)
3) by default xorg.conf is pointing at vesa instead of an ati driver, so it
does not do a PCI scan, it just hangs at a black screen.
The 'ati' driver in F8 does not support R600 chips. You have an R600
chip. It ain't gonna work.
Care to clue me on how you see it is an R600?
No doubt it is, I just don't see how to figure that from the data I have.
What does the X log look like when you use the vesa driver?
The Xorg.0.log (as opposed to the Xorg.0.log.ati) in my first email was a log
from the vesa driver, sorry I did not make that clear.
the log just stops at
=============
...
(--) using VT number 7
(WW) xf86OpenConsole: setpgid failed: Invalid argument
(WW) xf86OpenConsole: setsid failed: Operation not permitted
=============
the screen is now black,
Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] fails to be able to switch to a different VT,
and even though the command was ran as `startx&sleep 60;reboot` the box has to
be hard power cycled 120 seconds later to recover.
In the email originating this thread:
xorg.conf.orig and Xorg.0.log go together, vesa driver.
xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log.ati go together, ati driver.
BTW, having SELinux on or off does not make a functional difference in xorg
working, but I did notice when I ran xorg with SELinux on the following
messages appeared in /var/log/messages:
setroubleshoot: #012 SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/Xorg (xdm_xserver_t)

I have ran the `sealert -l randnum` commands if you want/need to see the output.
