Hello, Sorry for the cross post but I figure this is a better place to get help. With the Xorg ABI update in CentOS/RHEL 6.6 [1] I can't get X to come up properly. More info in this thread on the CentOS list:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2014-December/148341.html To summarize: * Stock ATI drivers shipped with CentOS crash X with a 6.6 kernel * fglrx drivers also crash X with a 6.6 kernel[2] * a centos 6.6 livecd still exibits the problem (trying to rule out an issue with my specific installation) I have Xorg.0.log files for boots from the 4 combinations of boots from a CentOS 6.5 and 6.6 kernel and the stock and fglrx drivers. Nothing obvious stands out to me but I could definitely be missing something. What's the best way to send the logs - just inline? I'll include just error messages below for now. I'd appreciate any help sorting this out. Thanks, Darby [1] see the 2nd bullet under "Known Issues" at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.6 [2] despite the indication they should work (http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-fglrx) [root@c6 log]# grep EE Xorg.0.log.centos6.* Xorg.0.log.centos6.5.fglrx: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
