Description Dick Gevers 2012-08-26 18:55:00 CEST

Description of problem:
Since kernel 3.5.0, upto 3.5.2-1 and inl. kernel-tmb-3.5.2-1, I cannot get X to start with either fglrx-8.980-3.mga3 or fglrx-8.982-1.mga3

Nor can I cange to any tty to see what's happening, nor restart X via [ alt + ctrl + backspace]

Same kernel on an nvidia laptop work flawlessly. Also booting seems quite okay until the moment X is supposed to start.

The only thing I can find in the logs which is different from before is
this:

while if using the older kernels I only get this:

Jul 28 09:50:18 dvg kernel: [   14.724078] ACPI Warning:

but I see no real problems anywhere with the older kernels.

I will attach all the usual info needed for any kernel bug report.

It won't be much help, but I should include it in my report.
