https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145200 S3 Unichrome Pro (K8M800), Athlon64. Using VESA b/c native doesn't work. The VESA driver doesn't work with a 64-bit kernel; neither the 64-bit VESA driver, nor the 32-bit VESA driver (run in a chroot). It does work on the same box with a full 32bit install (with a 32bit kernel). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1 through 6.8.2. Log of the 64-bit X startup is at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=109814 Log of a working 32-bit X startup is at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=109815 Logs are from 6.8.1, but 6.8.2 behaves identically.
I thought I also had this bug. Using a Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M on which I've updated the BIOS to the latest version (F5), the VESA driver failed. I borrowed a graphics card from another machine and installed FC3, however on rebooting the kernel wouldn't load - I got a crc error. This led me to do some hardware investigations. To cut a long story short the motherboard was incorrectly identifying my CL3 memory as CL2.5 so I changed this manually in the BIOS settings. I can now install FC3 - the generic VESA driver works - and the new installation boots properly. This may not be a bug at all!

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Bill Nottingham Do you still experience this issue with newer soft ? Please check the status of your issue.
Sorry, I've since retired the box.
Ancient bug, closing. If anyone's still seeing this please reopen.
