Description Aaron Luchko 2008-06-25 04:48:21 UTC
Description of problem:
Setting the driver to "i810" causes X11 to fail to start with the fairly concise
message "(EE) No devices detected."

The "intel" driver works fine though doesn't have very good performance
(probably related to bug 444328).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express
Processor to DRAM Controller (rev 03)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express

xorg.conf

Only difference between settings is changing Driver "intel" to Driver "i810"

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 try to run Xorg 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,
please.

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

Thanks in advance.

Comment 6 Uno Engborg 2008-07-17 11:23:40 UTC
If I let Xorg autodetect driver it, selects the "Intel" driver on my Thinkpad
R50e. If I run lspci to identify the hardware I get:

O Controller (rev 02)
00:00.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor
to I/O Controller (rev 02)
00:00.3 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor
to I/O Controller (rev 02)

The "Intel" driver works, except that it will not let me resume from suspend to
ram like "i810" did back in the Fedora 8 days. That's why I always manually
switched to "i810" in Fedora8, but unfortunately this doesn't work any more.




Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 01:46:35 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 16:49:06 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
