Description

I installed a Tseng ET6100 PCI graphics adapter in same system to test with FC6. It exhibits same problem using vga=normal. :-( I installed a Matrox G400 AGP graphics adapter in the same system to test with FC6. It works normally using vga=788. :-) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! With both 2.6.23.1-21.fc7 and 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 on same i815 system, still with G400 gfxcard, using framebuffer vga=788, behavior is as expected. However, changing cmdline to vga=normal reproduces the problem as originally described in comment 0. /proc/cmdline == 'root=LABEL=S12A-11fedora splash=0 noresume 3 vga=normal' Changing version to 8 in that case. 8 is what I selected. I have no idea how bugzilla converted my 8 into a 2. They're nowhere near each other in the select list. :-p Felix, Would it be possible to attach a screenshot? Someone will have to point me to instructions how a screenshot can be made on tty[1-6]. I only know how to make one from KDE. I never found instructions anywhere for doing tty screenshots. Point and click with a digital camera :) Created attachment 293902 [details]

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping No longer a bug in Fedora 10 using Matrox G400 with vga=0x305 or with no vga= line. I cannot test on Intel video chip system until bug 430836 gets fixed and/or devt is implemented for / in the installation kernel. Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
