Description
This test case tests whether, when using the Radeon driver, X can successfully shut down and restart. You must be using a card supported by the Radeon video driver.
How to test
- Ensure the 'nomodeset' kernel parameter is not enabled in your bootloader configuration (unless you need it for basic X operation to succeed)
- Ensure the file
/etc/X11/xorg.confdoes not exist, or is a known-good configuration file that uses the 'radeon' driver - Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again, in console mode. When the boot prompt appears, hit a key to allow you to change the boot options. Hit the 'e' key on the default entry, select the kernel options line, hit 'e' again, and add simply a space and the number '3' to the end of the line. On the live CD, hit any key when the 'automatic boot in X seconds' prompt is showing, then hit tab to edit boot options and make the change. Then boot with that change
- The system will boot to the console. Log in as a normal user (if using the live image, username is liveuser, no password)
- Start X:
startx. Verify that it works as usual - Log out from your desktop environment. This should stop X and return you to the console. Check there are no unusual errors
- Start X again:
startx. Again test that it works as usual
Expected Results
- X should work properly both the first and second times it is started
