configuration file
A copy of my current xorg configuration file.
This occurs on a Dell Poweredge Server SC420 Please review bug number 161242 everyone, and try using the libvgahw.a module that is linked to from that bug report. This is just a hunch I'd like to test to see if the problem reported on Matrox and Intel hardware is also causing problems on Trident and other hardware. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161242 Anyone who can test this and provide feedback, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tested with the module listed in the other bug but still had the same problem. But when used in conjuction with the lastest intel driver (obtained here http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/i810_drv.o) I got X to start and work fine. Can someone try this combination (1 or both) and see if this is the solution. Also ran into the problem of using the integrated intel E7221 graphics on the sc420 with FC4, geting several little "boxes" with random colors in a straight line across the screen near the top. Frustrating! Worked in FC3. Hope someone can fix it and update the distro. In forum (url below) user "UnixVRules" reported it works with the i820 driver you linked to above. I haven't tried it, myself, yet (but intend to): http://forums.fedoraforum.org/printthread.php?t=59127&pp=80 UnixVRules said: "I downloaded the i810_drv.o file, dropped it into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o and then restarted X (I just issued a kill -HUP to gdm)." his xorg.conf contains: ---------- Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "i810" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "Intel 915" Option "noaccel" EndSection ---- he later reported it works faster without the line "Option "noaccel" and was looking for feedback from others on that. ---- hope this helps -nw keep up the good work. Can you test xorg-x11-6.8.2-44 and see if it fixes your problem. |
