Created attachment 475937 [details] xorg with nomodeset Description of problem: attempting to boot f15 on intel 82852/855GM video card, fails both in text mode and graphics mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # uname -r 2.6.38-0.rc2.git5.1.fc15.i686 # lspci -nn | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02) # lsmod | grep -i video video 10797 1 i915 # rpm -qa | grep -i intel xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.14.0-1.fc15.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot rawhide 2. 3. Actual results: text mode is a noisy mix between a huge vertical cursor and other random noises. graphics mode (gdm) is a black screen with a arrow mouse cursor moving fine, and a locked keyboard. Expected results: Additional info: if i boot with nomodeset, text mode is ok, gdm displays and works. the output above is from the system booted with nomodeset. attempts to boot with kms ends in a system without network connectivity because network manager fails to stay alive during boot. (and f it would be alive, it would fail to connect, i believe). the system is thinkpad x40, i can not send smolt profile because smolt is broken.

Created attachment 475941 [details] xorg with kms and some more parameters at kernel boot line added drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=16M to kernel boot line
Can we get also /var/log/messages from the second setup (drm.debug and log_buf_len). thanks!
Created attachment 475961 [details] messages as expected, i sent it after booting with nomodeset :)
Thanks. ajax, there are a couple of boots in the log without nomodeset, so the necessary info is there.
