hmm, you get kernel boot text before rhgb/X starts up though right ? do you have any vga= or video= lines in your boot options ? If so, can you try booting without them ? Happens on the i855 chipset too (on a thinkpad r51) agpgart: Detected an Intel 855 Chipset. agpgart: Detected 8060K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe0000000 The only thing that works for me is vt7 (X) Dave, as per comment #1, yes, before X starts up, I see a console. And I have no video= or vga= lines in the boot options... But after X is started, all my vt1-6 is invisible. can you comment out the Load "dri" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if that 'fixes' it ? davej, commenting out the load "dri" section didn't work, and give me back my consoles Dave, I'm using my testbox for development work currently, so I don't think I'll be able to reboot for the rest this week I'm afraid. Colin, to clarify: commenting out dri helped or didn't help? :) Didn't help, no. Would gladly talk to davej on irc and try and get this sorted even... Is this like bug #153729? Sure I don't get the green border (but thats mga - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2991), but we're definitely seeing the i810 funnies that dmalcolm has reported (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3094) I am seeing the same problem on FC4 in runlevel=5. This was not a issue with FC3, kept very current via up2date. Machine is Dell 4600, dmesg shows this for AGP chipset: Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 865 Chipset. agpgart: Detected 892K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe8000000 I commenting out DRI in xorg.conf and rebooted, it had no effect. Killing off getty for tty/1, thus forcing a restart of getty, had no effect. Coming up in runlevel=3 shows all virtual consoles, no problem. Issuing "init 3" from within GUI does not bring back the virtual consoles. I also have this problem with fc4 on a i855 card, and had no problem both with fc3 and ubuntu 5.04 which has both xorg 6.8.2 and kernel 2.6.11. Is there anything I could do to help identifying the problem? "Me Too" i855GM in a Fujitsu (Siemens) P7010. Worked fine in FC3. Same problem as described in FC4. Solution: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161242 Normal behaviour since copying Mike Harris's FC3 libvgahw.a over the top of the FC4 one. Recommend that this bug be marked as a duplicate of Bug #161242 Jens: Please review bug #161242, and confirm wether or not the workaround provided in that bug report resolves the issue for you. If it does, please reassign this bug to xorg-x11, and mark it as a duplicate of bug #161242. Thanks, Mike. I installed the module from xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.21 and yes this fixed the problem for me. :) I also noticed that after logging out of X now, gdm comes up noticeably quicker than before fwiw. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 161242 *** |
