...It went through all the normal setup up to outputting the message that it was starting Anaconda. Then the screen went blank and stayed that way. This is the same symptom as when it is trying to start. While the driver was not rebuild I suspect something that accesses the driver added a call to xf86LinearVidMem which is not found in the symbol list for the driver. I am not sure where to go from here. I have a USB SVGA video adapter sitting in a drawer. As much as I don't want to, I am thinking of plugging that in. That so much a long shot. It is designed as a second monitor. I tried plugging...

I updated to Centos 6.8. Every thing is working, except Xorg does not startup. When I look at top, it seems that Xorg keeps trying but not succeeding to start. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks Shoshana Rosenthal srosenthal at cfa.harvard.edu

In my case the problem stemmed from the fact that my machine has a MACH64 video card. The updated Xorg has a reference xf86LinearVidMem. I opened bug 1422622 at bugzilla.redhat.com. This was on 2/15/2017. So far the bug is just sitting there. My work around was to disable the main repo's in /etc/yum.repos.d and enable 6.7 in the vault repo. Did a distribution synchronization. Here are the notes from what worked: (may be l...
