The "mga" driver does not support DVI officially. It contains only experimental code which Matrox never completed into a stable workable state. After using analog cable instead, please reproduce the problem and attach your X server log and config file using the link below. There are numerous problems with mga support currently, so this is likely a duplicate. Once we have your details, we can determine if it is the same issue already reported, or a new issue. TIA I tried at first the analog output, because i had that dvi problems with every linux distribution i installed. The difference between them and the fc4 installer was analog works fine and dvi works after installing the mga-driver from Matrox. Frusted of my results i recoverd the old installation. I could run the installer and could attach the X server log, but not before tomorow. Hope thats okay.

After starting the X Server the complete commandline output turned to character salad. This happend on every terminal. I made some bad screenshots with my mobile cam, if it's hopefull i will attach them. This problem is believed to possibly be a duplicate of libvgahw. Please read bug #161242 and test the libvgahw.a module that is available at the following URL: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/libvgahw.a Make a backup copy of the original libvgahw.a module prior to replacing it with the one from above. Once you've replaced it, restart the X server or reboot the system. After doing this, please indicate if there is any change in the problem. You may wish to CC yourself on bug #161242 as well, assuming this does turn out to be a duplicate. Also, please attach your X server log from /var/log and your X server config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to all X related bug reports, as this makes it easier for developers to perform a diagnosis. You can get the logs by setting "initdefault" to 3 in /etc/inittab and running "init 3", then using "startx" to start the X server. If the machine crashes or display is corrupted, reboot, and backup the logs after rebooting *before* starting X again. Attach those to the report. Thanks in advance. It's definitively an dublicate of bug #161242. During the start up of the installer imho it is not possible to replace the libvgahw and there is also no way to get an copy of the x server log and config. I recoverd my old OS because i need my box for daily working. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 161242 *** Thanks for the update! |
