Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. Created attachment 140703 [details]
This is log for runlevel3+startx (when it works)
This file is the log for the situation when X starts (boot in runlevel3, log-in
and startx manually)
Created attachment 140704 [details]
This is log for runlevel5 (when screen goes blank)
This is the log when X fails to start (booting in runlevel 5)
Created attachment 140705 [details]
This is xorg.conf
This is my xorg.conf. There are commented entries, in some attempts to fix the
thing. Anyway attached logs were produced with this exact conf
Matej, thanks for supporting in this bug. I attached the requested files, please let me know if I can help in any way. Andrea Hi, I have had the same problem, and i used the solution i found at openchrome.org and actually i used these rpms : http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC6/i386/ and it worked fine, now I guess the via-drv shiped with FC6 may be buggy any clue about using aiglx with this chipset? Thanks! Karim, could you please give us URL of the solution at openchrome.org? Thanks Hi Matej, As I said to Andrea, here's what I've done: Well, I exactly use these rpms : http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC6/i386/ which are built with the sources of openchrome. Actually Openchrome provides a solution in source code form, but there's folks arround that have built rpms for specific distros. The one above successfully made some for FC5 and I guess from his website that he's working on FC6 versions. You can download this one: http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC6/i386/xorg-x11-drv-via-0.2.1.svn227- 1.fc6.i386.rpm and do: rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles xorg-x11-drv-via-0.2.1.svn227-1.fc6.i386.rpm and that will replace the xorg-x11-drv-via shipped with FC6 For the xorg.conf, all i've changed is this: Section "Device" Driver "via" # <------- replaced the generic "vesa" with "via" Identifier "Videocard0" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "VIA Technologies, Inc. Unknown device 3344" EndSection And that's all :) Hope this may help. Hi all!!!
I tested the suggested package, but no luck: the behaviour is exactly the same
as previously reported...
Maybe the card is a different version...

Let me know if the xorg.log produced by this driver could serve: I will post.
Thanks again,
Andrea
I have a P5VDC-MX (assus) with VIA UniChrome video built in. X86-64 FC6 works fine. All updates (upgrades). i386 FC6 10/24 works fine. Does not work after upgrade, since 1/15. Will not use monitor (blank screen) for xorg. Will boot to text mode. Has a new UniChrome driver been added to the i386 version (core or extras), if it has remove it and put the old driver, that worked, back in. Mass migration: via -> openchrome. Please retry with xorg-x11-drv-openchrome. This is the successor to xorg-x11-drv-via. FWIW, I was the one providing the Fedora openchrome packages, they are now in upstream Fedora. Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. The problem was reported than one year ago. I do not have the affected machine any more available, it has been re-installed with a different linux distribution. Manage the issue at your will... I'm sorry it took so long to give an answer to your request, but although I'm maintaining this package for a long time, it entered Fedora only a few weeks ago. Whatever distro you are using now, I would still appreciate if you can give a run at the latest openchrome release. http://www.openchrome.org/releases Feel free to sent me a private mail if you wish. I'm closing this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, sorry about that. Regards, Xavier |
