Description David Yerger 2006-06-12 07:52:53 UTC

Not sure where to file this bug, but when trying the 4/3/2006 snapshot, I get a
black screen.

The Xorg.0.log seems to indicate that I'm getting the same problem as I had with
Xorg before the patch detailed in bug #1109 (I don't have the log handy, but the
black screen and the fact that /no/ possible resolutions fit the driver's idea
of the screen geometry are the same symptoms IIRC).

Is it possible that whatever source ati{misc}_drv.o was built from missed
getting that patch?

I am pretty sure that the 20060304 snapshot included the fix from bug #1109.
That bug was closed a long time ago.

I just added a note to http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Download that the
snapshots are out of date. The Xorg 7.1 release is newer than the last
snapshots, though some parts are from stable branches instead of HEAD.

Also, this bug is against the wrong product. ati{misc}_drv.c is not part of the
DRI drivers, it's part of the ATI DDX driver in Xorg. Choose the corredt driver
depending on the ATI hardware (mach64, rage128 or radeon) and tell us what exact
hardware configuration you're using.

I'm closing this bug as invalid. Please open a new bug against the correct
product (Xorg) and component (Driver/???). I suggest you try if Xorg 7.1 has the
same problem first. Also attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and your xorg.conf.
