Folks, we just tried an install on a Panasonic CF-52 (TOUGHBOOK laptop) using an ATI Radeon X2100.
- had to install in text mode because X is just black screen.
- after install startx results in the same situation. (consistency is nice)
- 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.
The X2k series are generally R600 chips. It's easier to define support in terms of chip revision than marketing name because some of the marketing names are just lies.
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.
I missed it, for being too short! Weird. I have no idea why it'd fail there.
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) "use" to /dev/tty1 (local_login_t).#012 For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l cfd857e5-b182-431b-b9bf-acba1e48c0cc setroubleshoot: #012 SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/Xorg (xdm_xserver_t) "signal" to <Unknown> (unconfined_t).#012 For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l b56c8443-e433-47c2-aa1a-b3a622cd66e1 setroubleshoot: #012 SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/Xorg (xdm_xserver_t) "getpgid" to <Unknown> (unconfined_t).#012 For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l d2960006-8d4a-4b08-abe6-9d4f6b780888 I have ran the `sealert -l randnum` commands if you want/need to see the output.
Those should all be allowed actions, but if it still fails with selinux off then I'm stumped. I can't even think of where to begin looking.
Is your /usr/bin/Xorg not suid root for some reason?
