Bug 168793 is also related to this. Another confirmed report of X "dissapearing":
Booting a Fedora Core LiveCD, RHGB displays, and then X starts but the screen
turns blank. The reporter claims X is running, which is consistent with the
behavior I have noticed also on Intel video devices.
The graphics card is as follows from lspci:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 018f
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 169
Memory at dff00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
I/O ports at ec38 [size=8]
Memory at c0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at dfec0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
There's been a small miscommunication between Jasper and I, sorry - the card details that Jasper posted for the Dell above should be ignored. That card does actually work using rawhide and rhgb/X. I'll post the lspci details of the card that is failing later when I can reboot the right machine again into linux - the failing card was identified by xorg as "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device rev 1" btw. which is pretty similar to the original card Jasper had trouble with except for the revision number. Thanks! Here's the card that has the problem ... if I use the vesa driver then startx works the first time (no rhgb i.e. this is the first time I call X) but if I exit X and restart it I just get a blank screen. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation Unknown device 00c5 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at fc400000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 1 Thanks! This is using a livecd created using kadischi and FC6T2 btw. Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, please, could you reproduce this bug with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX/INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. Thanks in advance. No information requested was provided, so I close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Reporter, if you could, please, reopen with additional information. I think this was fixed with a vgahw.a file bug that the developers upstream handled for me on Intel having a black screen. |
