Nice, so one more bug to close  :)

Blocks: (none) => 12954

Tested on our Dell server at work.  Bug 13098 is not fixed, but no regressions and it seems to work fine otherwise.

radeon-firmware-20140603-1.mga4 also added to this update

I updated kernel 3.4.17 on MGA4-32. There is no regression in the detection and management of hardware. The system seems stable.

CC: (none) => ducp54

i notice that there's a new kernel in updates_testing...?

CC: (none) => alien

actually there is 4 new ones :)

and a fifth is currenly building that will be assigned for QA

Ok, lets start this one up again:

After reboot, using nouveau, everything looks fine here, too.
I didn't test WLAN because there is currently no WLAN adapter attached.
However, LAN, booting into KDE and watching a full HD movie work perfect.

Not testing nvidia proprietary stuff now (nouveau works great, and I think nvidia had stopped working on this system). Might try later if asked.

Nothing odd, what was tried works just as well.

Tested mga4_64,

Testing complete for the new kernel-desktop-3.14.18-3.mga4, It's Ok for me, all seems to work properly. Nothing to report.

dmesg output from Dell Inspiron 600m

kernel-desktop i586 seems to work fine on my Dell Inspiron 600m laptop, but there does appear to be a drm issue, looking at the logs.  I don't know if it's related to Bug 3889 (which is still valid).  I'll attach my dmesg output.

is this detection correct ?

"[drm] crtc 1 is connected to a TV"

or is the drm detector way off ?

No, nothing is connected to a TV.  I only have the laptop's display active.  The VGA port on the back isn't connected to anything.

Works fine (i586) on both of my PogoLinux systems at home and in Virtualbox.

Well, the fact that it works again with the new kernel on the Mga3 partition made me curious, so I tried anyway:

Nvidia works OK

 kernel-server-latest-3.14.18-3.mga4.x86_64.rpm

No luck. *Both* kernels stop before the login graphical screen. The initial graphic screens quickly turn to console O/P, which shows something like (but not exactly) "ATI deamon process" then a lot more output before stopping on "Reached target graphical environment".
 $ dmesg
shows nothing similar.

Is there a way to capture - or at least pause - the console screen O/P?

Did you install radeon-firmware from nonfree updates_testing?

and if you use fglrx, they are also in nonfree updates_testing

@Lewis:

can you attach lsinitrd.list from the command:

lsinitrd /boot/initrd-3.14.18-desktop-3.mga4.img > lsinitrd.list

@lewis: i've seen this before, in some testing where the DE didn't run properly or failed. the thing is that the X is running but due to kms you're seeing still the console output frozen at that time.

if you switch to a real console with CTRL+ALT+F2 i will assume you will see a login screen...

same as cited in Comment 8. Pulled in automatically, I think.

Done (Comment 33).

Yes. Ctrl/Alt/Fn virtual consoles are fine.

this means your bug is not in X or booting up, but in the DE.

what kind of DE did you install? from what media? you didn't use the dual-arch or anything, did you? or installed a broken DE?

These questions mystify me. This is on Mageia4 installed on real (EFI) hardware & used since it was released.
I installed from the Classic DVD.
I have nearly all desktops installed.
Current login manager is KDM, but I can choose from others available.

To confirm my original failure, I have just re-run it. The actual root of the problem is I think:
"[FAILED] Failed to start LSB: ATI Events Daemon".
among the messages streamed to console 1; consoles 2-6 all display a login prompt, which works. Ctrl/Alt/F7 shows a blank screen.

Perhaps the Radeon firmware is to blame. Can I verify it somehow?

Nope, but it shows you have a possible driver mix as you try to use ati driver but the above message comes from fglrx...


So, do you have all the needed fglrx packages ?

rpm -qa |grep fglrx

or if you want to test with ati driver, then reconfigure it through mcc

or in console: XFdrake

If I have a driver mix, it is nothing to do with me. I just installed the new kernels among a fistful of existing ones, and have never made a conscious choice of driver since installation (when for Mag4 I probably chose the proprietary one).
FWIW the command gives:
 x11-driver-video-fglrx-14.010.1006-1.mga4.nonfree
 fglrx-kernel-3.12.25-desktop-3.mga4-14.010.1006-5.mga4.nonfree
 fglrx-control-center-14.010.1006-1.mga4.nonfree
 fglrx-kernel-3.12.25-server-3.mga4-14.010.1006-5.mga4.nonfree
 dkms-fglrx-14.010.1006-1.mga4.nonfree
but I have had enough of of special fglrx kernels with all the extras they need.

Re 'reconfigure through MCC' - better to have working graphics?

> or in console: XFdrake
Thanks. Looks useful in the context. Will try that.

bingo, small b. Actually using at last: 3.14.18-server-3.mga4
Did XFdrake, with little idea what to change. The parameters offered seemed OK, but gave the same previous negative results. Changing the video driver was enigmatic: the ATI choice stopped at HD 6400 (from memory, elsewhere, "or later"), mine is HD 7310. Found & chose Xorg|ati, re-booted, it did something to do with fglrx and now works.

While this is good news, an average user should not be expected to meddle in this sort of way (in my view). Not for me to judge OK or not, but I will continue to use the 3.14 kernels to test them generally.

Ready to go once the advisory is uploaded.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA4-32-OK MGA4-64-OK

I though I did, but don't have a suitable amd gpu to double check this with so happy to validate.

Validating. Advisory from comment 41 uploaded.

Could sysadmin please push to 4 updates, with vbox update bug 14095

Thanks
