Hello ,
If I try to run the update 4. 7. 0-desktop-0. RC7. 6. mga6 (after choosing -4. 7. 0-desktop-0. RC7. 6. mga6) MGA shows me a gray screen with in the center three question marks and then I have a message that says there was a graphic display problem. After several attempts to regain control, I finally access the console. The screen displayed a message asking to type drakx11, and choose a mode and then type systemconfigctl default;
I then arrived on the login screen, but with US keyboard ,. . etc.
I returned to the previous version 7. 7. 0-desktop. rc 7. 5 it works well on the 1 shot!
but if it can help here. . . . .

Hello taboutanche,

I have the same issue with a AMD/ATI graphic card

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Thames [Radeon HD 7550M/7570M/7650M] [1002:6841]
        Subsystem: Sony Corporation Device [104d:90ac]
        Kernel driver in use: radeon
        Kernel modules: radeon
[root@localhost ~]#


it acts as described in this bug report: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17233
An older kernel boots just normally. Thomas Backlund (tmb) wrote in the mailing list, that it will be fixed with xinitrc-2.4.21-17.mga6. Not confirmed yet, as I wait for another test.

The issue is resolved here with tonight's upgrade. What is your state?

Two testers on the French forum with AMD GPUs who had the issue also reported it's solved since yesterday update (link).

IT's ok with new update
