Unable to start X
Hi, I'm using the nvidia 7600 video card with the neuveau driver (not using the commerical driver, just the fedora shipped one). I did a rawhide update on Saturday and it looks like something there has borked my system. I had a power outage last night and had to reboot. It doesn't matter which version of the kernel I try to load, but when I try to boot X I'm told that the kernel has claimed a driver and the server won't start until the kernel has unclaimed it. I've tried passing nomodeset and vesa in the boot line, but no good. If I boot to runlevel 3, I can get a command line login, so the system is up and working, but issuing startx gives me the error about the claimed module. Any ideas on how to get my desktop to boot or do I need to downgrade the xorg-x11-drv-neuvaux (or however it's spelt!)?

Cause I just posted bout this issue (see f12 to rawhide upgrade), and ran into same sort of problem, although mixed results. Prior to Christmas I had two separate problems a) Plymouth graphic boot needed to be escaped to text mode at boot b) The intel driver didn't work (even if plymouth did) Both problems exhibit somewhat the same outcome - you get to gdm login and just get a cursor. The intel driver problem lasted for all of the 2.6.32 kernels from F12 to rawhide With the newer 2.6.33 kernels I've seen the both problems come and go. For instance, there were a few 2.6.33 kernels where the intel driver worked as long as you hit escape to get past the plymouth problem. With the current rawhide kernel (kernel-2.6.33-0.20.rc5.git0.fc13buildinfo?buildID=152598) both problems are resolved. darrell -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
