HP DC 7700 / HP DC7700 I think this is exactly the same problem I have with a notebook with an intel 855 graphic card and Fedora 10 live preview release. Maybe this bug and this (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465389) are related. Everybody, 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. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance. Created attachment 322780 [details]
dc7700 anaconda that generates no xorg.conf in /etc/X11
after first reboot I can not find a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
This is the anaconda-ks.cfg file of a plain dc7700 install with the issue.
again a fresh install no Xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 found after first boot a black screen but still accessable with SSH using ssh -X root@server I first did a yum install system-config-display and changed to init 3 in /etc/inittab and the a reboot After the reboot in init 3 i tried on the server console itself startx but again black screen and no way to get out of it after a reboot I tried to run system-config-display from the server console itself but again black screen after a reboot I tried to run system-config-display via a ssh -X root@server and at least I could use the tool to configure X but after a reboot again black screen Same hardware works without problems in FC 8,9 Created attachment 322784 [details]
xorg.conf that works with "vesa" driver but causes total freeze with "intel"
This is the xorg.conf that manages to starts Xorg (with vesa driver).It's very basic. If I put "intel" as driver or if no xorg.conf is present in /etc/X11 trying to start Xorg results in a total freeze of the system.
Unfortunately I can't post the xorg.log file: I'm using a live version of Fedora 10 preview release and after Xorg freezes the only option left is to reboot manually the machine thus destroying the xorg.log file.

Cannot you get to the machine via ssh? If yes, then take a look both into both /var/log/ and /tmp directories, in some parts of the loading of the disc some logs hide in both places.

xorg.log with "intel" driver
Xorg.0.log file taken via ssh from the frozen machine after trying to start gdm with "intel" driver.
A long weekend and nonstop raining outside so I tried the Fedora 10 Preview CD instead of the DVD and Fedora 10 actually comes up beautifully with the CD edition ... But I don't see a Xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 either. Definitely different behaviour and results between CD and DVD editions. xorg.conf is no more needed by the new xorg server it should choose the best configuration for your hardware (unless you happen to have some problem, like me for instance :-) Today I installed F10 preview into the hd. After a global update Xorg managed to start without xorg.conf (and without vesa)! So I think we can close this bug (unless there will be regressions before F10 release date, but let's hope not!). I have only a little problem with characters visualization (I only see half of them) on screen that disappear only if I choose subpixel shading. I don't exactly love subpixel shading but I think I can bear with it until the next update (or file a new bug here at bugzilla). Thanks for all the attention! Well, A little problem remains: the driver is extremely slow! With glxgears on F10 I obtain 130 fps while on F9 it was 510...And glxgears and glxinfo give this error message: [intel_init_bufmgr:592] Error initializing buffer manager. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'.
