2-3 weeks ago I started experiencing a nasty problem with gdm in
runlevel 5. display gets blank after X starts then remain blank, but
DPMS not suspended. ssh-ing in, I can see X running at 100% CPU,
probably busy looping somewhere. It's a Radeon 9600.
I tried both xorg radeon stock driver and (after experiencing the
problem)
kernel-module-fglrx-2.6.11-1.35_FC3-8.14.13.1-0.lvn.4.3+ati-fglrx-8.14.13.1-0.lvn.4.3
with same broken behaviour.
strang thing is, if I set to boot in runlevel 3, login as my user,
startx then everything seems ok.
related pkgs are:
xorg-6.8.2-1.FC3.34
kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3
It's a Dell Precision 340, "old" P4 with 512MB RDRAM
