Hi, everyone. So, we have one bug remaining for Fedora 14 whose blocker status is unclear:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596985 Two reporters in the bug - John Reiser and Mike Chambers - and one reporter from the list - Rui He, http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-August/092583.html - report that the screen is blanked when the installer starts X on various Radeon adapters when booted with default options. The system is still running and you can switch to a virtual console to get logs - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596985#c36 - but the screen is permanently blank until reboot. When booted with 'basic video driver' - which, due to an anaconda bug, actually results in the use of the radeon driver, but with kernel modesetting disabled - the installer is able to run X normally, for all three. One further reporter, Chuck Forsberg - http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-August/092581.html - had problems with both default and 'basic video mode' (radeon+UMS). Jerome Glisse reports that he was able to start X and see the display in the installer with one or some of his own test cards. What we need here is more data. So it would be really useful if everyone on this list with a Radeon video adapter could test this. It's fairly quick and easy and doesn't require you to actually complete an install. Just get the boot.iso for RC3 (currently) or RC4 (later today, likely) - the boot.iso for RC3 is at http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Alpha.RC3/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso or http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Alpha.RC3/Fedora/i386/os/images/boot.iso - boot it, and see if you can make it to the graphical stage of the installation process. Please reply here, and if you observe the same problem as the reporters, add your details to the bug report (also test the 'basic graphics driver' choice, and report whether you used rc3 or rc4, and x86-64 or i386).
