new version of the patch
Any news regarding this issue? Is there anything I can do to help to fix the X.org package? Does system-config-display works for you? Are you able to start X when remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf completely? I am afraid we don't care that much about X -configure anymore. Actually system-config-display doesn't work with my dual-head configuration (but this is a different problem) when using system-config-display without a xorg.conf it basically works (unless dual-head is configured, then the config cannot be saved) IMHO these system-config-display problem should be handled separately. ;-) Starting X without having an /etc/X11/xorg.conf works. I understand that "X -configure" is probably not a common use case anymore. But a co-worker stumbled over this and I've given it a shot to check for the problem. It turned out that it was caused by one of the patches from Fedora, so I've thought I should report the problem. ;-) Please can you review my investigation I've put into the description and the attached patch? The problem only occurs because there is a (broken) patch applied when building the package. Because the broken chunks of the patch does not even have an effect to fix the (original) bug which the patch was created for (some ps2 problems), I've stripped it from the patch and created a new one. Right you are, the module loader chunk there was included accidentally. Building this as 1.3.0.0-42, update will go out momentarily. xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-42.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8 xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-42.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update xorg-x11-server'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-1542 Not a F9 bug, removing from F9 blocker. xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-42.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. With the latest update the problem is fixed. Thank you very much! The bug status can now be changed to "RESOLVED CURRENTRELEASE", version: "1.3.0.0-42.fc8". |
