F12 updates-testing issue: X flickers and fails to start
Hi, On my laptop, after F12 updates-testing update today, after reboot F logo shows but then the screen goes dark and starts flickering between various shades of dark (changing modes?) with intel graphics chipset (GM965/GL960). I'm only using 1024x768 resolution. Nomodeset or using a previous kernel didn't help. Booting to runlevel 3 and running system-config-display (--reconfig) resulted in the same. I've worked around the issue by yum history undo 1 which rolled back a couple of hundred packages. Any idea which package could be the culprit and I should file a bug against or to isolate it? Somehow I don't think this is necessarily an Xorg base or driver issue. -- Pekka Savola You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oykingdom bleeds. Systems. Networks. Security. -- George R.R.

I'm guessing with radeonhd you did something to increase or decrease your font size in some dialog box, they had different ideas on DPI to the rest of the world. Try with a test user, though it might just be DPI changes. Thanks for input. Neither a test user or rolling back to radeonhd helped; maybe something changed between F11 and F12.

I'm thinking it should reallyt be removed from the distro at this point as it makes things worse rather than better. remove your xorg.conf and turn modesetting on and if its still horrible, then we can talk.

No graphics updates were ever made available for F11 and still Fedora cannot run even Blender on most of my machines. At the moment I am not convinced that it is worth spending this time on F12. It seems likely no updates will appear and in F13 the whole ball game may have changed anyway. Seems a bunch of incorrect assumptions considering that Fedora 11 did get many updates and I already see updates for Fedora 12 in updates-testing repository. Specific bug reports are definitely going to help. Well, here's one graphics regression: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540476 radeon.modeset=0 worked around the problem.

F10 updates-testing - F11 updates-testing yum upgrade issue
When trying to do a yum upgrade from 10 updates-testing to 11 updates-testing, I get the following: This is due to F11 updates-testing 'vte' package including a newer version of libvte, but the previous version was not retained. Could someone push a rebuild of gnome-terminal, gnome-desktop-sharp, Terminal and grip ASAP (maybe other packages are affected as well) ?

Since GNOME 2.14 may happen before this test release, it could be included. Uhh, I'm not following the logic about testing. It's not like you can just install FC5, disable yum, and forget about it for years. FWIW, at present, FC4 has over 2 GB of updates. If there are major bugs in any of the FC5 system components, I'm pretty confident that they'll be fixed; as a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if the gcc, glibc or gnome weren't updated within the next 3 months or so. -- Pekka Savola You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oykingdom bleeds.
