Description of problem: The intel modesetting driver doesn't work on my HP NC6320. When I switch to the intel driver and restart X, the LVDS takes on a greenish-melting effect that I can't adequately describe. The external HP 1730 flat panel comes up in the correct resolution. No amount of 'xrandr' will get the LVDS to display properly. I'll snap a picture of the display tonight with my digital camera and attach. Hardware config is: HP NC6320 T7400 Core2 Duo CPU 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-13.fc7.i386 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC6T2 on an NC6320 2. Change "i810" to "intel" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, restart X 3. Actual results: "Melting" screen effect. Expected results: Working X display.

One comment I forgot to add: to get the panel's native resolution (1400x1050), I have to use the evil 915resolution hack. I did disable it when I tried the intel driver, tho.

I've done some investigation on this bug. I pulled the xorg sources from git and did a complete build. The latest driver from git works better than the current one in rawhide, but doesn't work completely. With the following patch it works perfectly on this hardware.
