xorg.conf with i810 setting
I have just tested this with the 20070710 iso. While bug 217352 claims that we have switched to "intel" as the default, that does not appear to be the case as I continue to get "i810". I am still unable to switch consoles back to graphical mode in either anaconda, nor after the system is brought up. Reporter, can we get your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the X session when this happens, please? Created attachment 191781 [details]
Log from system with problem under 5.0 matching earlier xorg.conf
Here is the log from the system. It is under a vanilla 5.0 system - no updates
to match the earlier xorg.conf
(In reply to comment #2) > While bug 217352 claims that we > have switched to "intel" as the default, that does not appear to be the case as > I continue to get "i810". With already existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf we are keeping whatever was in the configuration file, moreover the bug you mentioned is against Fedora Core 6, which has different policy than RHEL. To test with intel driver, replace the section containing the line Driver "i810" with this Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" # or whatever else was there before Driver "intel" EndSection then restart X. If it breaks again, could please attach us new /var/log/Xorg.0.log to this bug as well, please? Created attachment 195001 [details]
Log from switching to the intel driver
The intel driver (under 5.0) is not recognizing this card and so X is refusing
to start at all.

Log under 5.1 with i810 driver
This log is with xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.5.el5 and using the default detected
driver from a "system-config-display --noui --set-resolution=1024x768" at the
end of a kickstart %post under 5.1beta

Log under 5.1 with intel driver
This log is with xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.5.el5 and using a hand edited
xorg.conf that simply replaced the use of i810 with intel under 5.1beta
This appears to be fixed in 5.2 which autodetects and uses by default the intel driver rather than the i810 driver - so I would be OK with closing this. Closing per comment #9, thanks! |
