Xorg Logfile of a failed startup

I have recently updated my Xorg installation and the updated Server doesn't work with my Apple Cinema HD Display. The same Hardware has been working prior to the update. 

I reports. 

 Fatal server error:
no screens found

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
         at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

The I suspect that the update of the xf86-video-radeonhd driver from 7.2.4 to 7.2.5 is the problem. With 7.2.4 the Xserver had worked without drm and xv but it worked. 

The Xorg.0.log file is attached to this Burgreport. The xorg.conf file was created with with Xorg -configure. I can Attach it here if needed. 

I don't have a Xorg logfile prio the update but I try so downgrade and provide an logfile of a working session. 

Hardwareinformation: 
Grafik: ASUS EAH4350 Silent/DI/512M
Mainboard: ASRock K10N750SLI-110dB AM2+ ATX
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9750 (AMD64)

This combination has been working. No Hardware changes since than.

log is from the radeon driver.

Can you try adding Option "ModeDebug" "true" to your xorg.conf device section

and posting the log it produces.

This looks a bug in the xserver that was fixed with this commit:

that's in master and 1.6.1 so marking fixed.
Comment 7 Gerhard Schmidt 2009-04-15 10:59:33 UTC
Is there a way to get a patch to apply to xorg 1.6.0 sources so I can test if the problem is fixed.
