Description Chris Lee 2005-09-19 18:25:28 UTC

Description of problem:
The latest errata-candidate packages break the Intel driver. X attempts to start
and fails; the logs indicate that the system can't find the card's VideoRAM.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.2


How reproducible:
Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install errata-candidate xorg-x11 packages on a system with an Intel chipset.
2. Launch X.
3. View X debug output.

Actual results:
X fails to launch and spews errors to the terminal.


Expected results:
X should launch and work properly.

Comment 1 Chris Lee 2005-09-19 18:51:50 UTC

Oops. Correct package version is xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.19, not 13.12.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2005-09-19 21:43:17 UTC

Kristian has investigated this, and is building new packages.

Comment 3 Jay Turner 2005-09-21 18:23:40 UTC

Looks like the 13.20 packages fix the issue on the Intel-based machine I was
reproducing on.

Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2005-09-22 04:35:00 UTC

From User-Agent: XML-RPC

xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 5 Luis 2005-09-22 10:44:33 UTC

I had the same problem with Fedora Core 3 with the update xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45

With the last update xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.1 I have recovered the X system but
not all the functionality.

Namely, I have a dell 500m laptop and with previous packages I could close the
laptop with the computer on, leaving the screen off and later I was able to wake
up the screen passing to a console and then to the X system (this trick might
mean that the woke up was not as clean as should). With the latest package the
screen does no more wake up.

Comment 6 Mattias Ellert 2005-10-02 05:04:43 UTC

I have the same problem (the screen does not wake up when I open the lid) on my
Dell latitude D505 laptop running FC3 and xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.2. I used to
be able to wake it up by first switching to a text terminal (pressing
alt-ctrl-1) and then switch back to X (pressing alt-ctrl-7), so it was not
perfect before either since it did not wake up automatically. But now this trick
doesn't work either.
