Installation went fine. The reboot went fine until X tries to start. All I get then is a screen filled with purple and yellow. I tried both normal and failsafe boot. my "lspci -v" is attached

(In reply to comment #4) > Created attachment 1477 [details] > dmesg Hi, My reply from yesterday has disappeared. Never mind. Please find my xorg.conf attached. Please note that I get the same result with or without xorg.conf : I get the screen filled with greyis yellow. Please find attached my dmesg attached. It might help. I also tried another thing : I replaced "ati" with "radeon" in xorg.conf and I added nomodeset at the end of "linux /boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux-nonfb root=UUID=aa933720-4de5-40f5-9fbf-794bb56febab resume=UUID=51c1920d-3e14-425f-8b8d-b3b7f710f61c nomodeset" in /boot/grub/grub.cfg I got X working for a split second then the computer freezes I have to reboot with the on-off button I also tried to boot into a console (without the starting the display manager) but it did not work. Setting id:3:initdefault: in /etc/inittab did not work. What should I do ?
I forgot to add : Xorg.0.log remains empty whatever I do
(In reply to comment #6) > I forgot to add : > Xorg.0.log remains empty whatever I do Hi, I tried to boot a live cd of mageia 1 (64 bits and with kde) : It boots fine until the displmay manager is started. I get a blank screen, then the computer freezes : I can't switch to any tty, ctrl+alt+backspace and delete does not work.
maybe same as https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1471#c2 can you do bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds ?

(In reply to comment #8) > maybe same as https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1471#c2 > > can you do bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds ? When I add radeon.modprobe=0 at the end of the boot line, it works. Display manager works, but I get a slid screen (see attached image) Then, when I type in a console as root, bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds I get the result in the attached file When I reboot, I still get the fuzzy screen. -> to me bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds does not change anything
Created attachment 1565 [details] result of "bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds"
(In reply to comment #9) > Created attachment 1563 [details] > slid screen Actually the bug does not show here. I get Mageia 'start' button at the bottom but in the middle of the screen. The right part of the screen is on the left. I will have to take a picture with a digital camera if you do not know what I mean

I > will have to take a picture with a digital camera if you do not know what I > mean bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds did not change anything because the radeon firmware could not be found -> I copied all the files I found in /lib/firmware/radeon from another distro (Mint 12) and pasted all of them to the Mageia partition. I reboot with radeon.modeset=0 then typed bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds I did not get any messages about radeon firmware missing I rebooted (without the "radeon.modeset=0" option) and it WORKS ! (and the screen is no longer split vertically)
was radeon-firmware installed ? (so it's a duplicate of the bug 1471)
(In reply to comment #14) > was radeon-firmware installed ? > > (so it's a duplicate of the bug 1471) I cannot install anything (I have a hald bug that prevents me from installing anything) > no radeon-firmware was installed
ok *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1471 ***
