Shell script to update x11 to use i915
I use this script to download and install the three files I need to get x11 to
work using the i915 chipset. I noticed today that they aren't making daily
updates, hence the value YESTERDAY is set to June 28, the latest snapshot
available.
*** Bug 162386 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** My most recent thought about what was causing this problem was difference in compiler versions from the rawhide and the one from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots. So after yum installed 6.8.2-40, I attempted to bring up the system without snapshot versions. Not only did x11 not start (expected) but I still could not use the vt. The good news is that after updating x11 with the snapshot version, it could build xorg.conf with the correct drivers and resolutions. Although I'm not sure if this is related to the snapshot update or the later version (-40). This is probably a duplicate of bug #161242. You'll need to restore all Red Hat supplied files in order to test this first however. Please restore all original files, then update to the latest updates we've released for this FC release. After this, reproduce the problem, then test the workaround in bug #161242 by installing the libvgahw.a module linked to and rebooting the system completely. If the problem recurs, attach your X server config file and log file using our supplied modules. Setting status to "NEEDINFO" I replaced libvgahw.a with the one provided in bug #161242 and the problem's gone away. I can now access the vt's. Thanks. I updated to xorg-x11-6.8.2-43, which purports to have a work-around for bug #161242 (among others). This version still has the same problems as initial reported in this bug report. So while bug #161242's libvgahw appears to have been solved, your's on the i915 didn't? However, using the regular libvgahw.a from FC-3 (or mharris's site) seemed to have worked for you? Please double check, to make sure I update to xorg-x11-6.8.2-44. The problem does not occur in this version. I did have the problem with Ctl-Alt-F1 being interepted as F1, so I was unable to swap to the VT's. This happened at gdm's login screen: from the login prompt, ctl-alt-F1 correctly placed me at vt1, ctl-alt-F7 placed me at gdm's login prompt again, then pressing ctl-alt-F1 would NOT allow me to switch back to vt1. The same problem occurred after I logged in. I was able to get to vt1 once, and not again until I changed the focus (I had several help windows eventually pop up, from the F1's). Then the problem went away. I'm willing to consider the problem closed. The above problem is likely due to Gnome. Based on the summary and comment #1 we shall consider this a dup of bug #161242. The issue in comment #8 is not related, so if the problem persists reopen another bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 161242 *** |
