That is what you say. How exactly did you determine that ? OR are you guessing ? The fact that it only broke for the reporter with an update from three days ago, but you had those problems in September and October. Seems pretty clear. It's not even the same problem description. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

That is what you say. How exactly did you determine that ? OR are you guessing ? I say they have similar symptoms. I said they *might* be related. I bet my bugs have nothing to do with the nouveau or nvidia drivers. I've been saying that all along.

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.

Update to the package set that caused the problem, then for the bug report attach the output of 'dmesg', your entire /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, and the output of 'lspci -nv'. Also indicate your kernel version, the version of xorg-x11-server-Xorg, and the version of xorg-x11-drv-intel. Dan -- Pekka Savola You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oykingdom bleeds.

File bugs against the X drivers generally though is easier for us to find them, kernel bug triage can be a long process.
