Created attachment 418415 [details] Xorg log file Description of problem: I am reporting this bug in accordance with the request on the F12 common bugs page, under "Miscellaneous problems with Intel graphics adapters". The problem I have is that unless I use the nomodeset parameter when I boot up, it stalls after starting the services and I never see the graphical login screen. I am using an Acer Aspire 1410 system with an Intel GMA 4500HD graphics chip. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel.x86_64 2.6.32.12-115.fc12 xorg-x11-drv-intel.x86_64 2.9.1-1.fc12 How reproducible: Happens every time I boot WITHOUT nomodeset kernel parameter. Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit grub.conf and make sure nomodeset parameter is not being passed to kernel 2. boot to Fedora 12 (x86_64) 3. Actual results: All goes apparently well until it is time to start the x-server. At this point, the system just sits there. I can work around it like this: 1. press ctl-alt-F2 to get tty 2. press ctl-alt-F1 to get GUI - log in. At this point, I can log in, and the splash graphic appears but window manager never loads. 3. repeat steps 1 & 2. Now, magically, everything loads up and seems to work fine. Expected results: Boot continues and GUI appears with login and gdm. Additional info: I am not using any xorg.conf file.
I was mistaken when I said everything then appears to work fine. Actually, things looked fine until I tried to suspend by closing the lid. It did not appear to work (display light showed active rather than suspended state) so I opened the lid again. At this point, I saw screen flicker with a ton of notifications in a pop-up on each flash of the screen, saying: Could not switch the monitor configuration could not set the configuration for CRTC 64 Then, when I logged out to clear the messages, it dropped me back to the tty instead of the GUI.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
