Bug 239237

Is this still an issue with F7 final?

Yes, absolutely, still an issue.  I can use the same disk to boot other
computers, but this GQ notebook won't boot.  I have tried passing X_DRIVER=vesa
on the grub boot line (which is what I must run in FC5), but there is no difference.

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.

Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and
let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug
/var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

xorg.conf as requested

remember, this is the working xorg.conf from my working FC5 "yum upgraded"
system.

OK; 

Attachments are there.  I will not be able to do the requested boot without
/etc/X11/xorg.conf from the live CD -- unless someone has a recipe.  So far, I
have found no way to get it to do anything but boot to runlevel 5.

Thank you for any help you can give,

You meant "runlevel 3", right? Runlevel 5 wouldn't be that bad ;-). And no
sorry, that's my mistake -- autoconfiguration is not supported in FC5, so this
is OK.

BTW, there is just slightly more than two weeks before FC5 will be unsupported,
you should really upgrade.

xorg.conf generated by feisty fawn

this xorg.conf works for my gq notebook

Throwing this to openchrome.  It's probably a via bug, but via's a dead end.

Fedora 7 and newer ships the openchrome driver which should support your GPU
just fine (although not out of the box for F7 and F8, you'll have to 'yum
install xorg-x11-drv-openchrome' and change the driver in xorg.conf). The F9
beta live CD does use the openchrome driver by default (not fully featured yet,
as it's currently being ported to libpciaccess), it should do the trick if you
absolutely need a liveCD.

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.

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
