/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Still broken in kernel-2.6.22.9-61.fc6.i686 The problem seems to be that 16bpp support is broken in recent kernels. I was using 16bpp to get 1600x1200 resolution with the limited graphics memory in this card. The next attached /etc/X11/xorg.conf fails at 1400x1250, but works if depth is changed to 24 (2 places).

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list 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 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained.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! I'm still using kernel-2.6.22.9-61.fc6.i686 on that otherwise vanilla F8 box, because that is still the last one that works for me. I think I'm having other problems than the one described here with the latest F8 kernels, but I'll have to be physically there to retest and be able to recover. I'll update this when I go in to work tomorrow. OK, finally, I have kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.i686 running on this box with a fresh X11 config with "thousands of colors" and 1600x1200 resolution. The new kernel was dying in grub with "No setup signature found..." because of some old crud from 2002 in /boot. I spend the morning with a rescue boot and, ultimately, "grub-install /dev/sda" to get it to work again. An incremental upgrade at some point wasn't handled very well. Anyway, the original graphics problem seems to have gone, so this bug can be closed. Thanks. |
