It would be very useful if you could post your /var/log/messages from after an attempt at booting with KMS enabled. Thanks! Please find the /var/log/messages after a failed booting attempt (without "nomodeset") here: http://pastebin.com/m7d9f784f Cordialement Karsten Ok, I've seen another case of this bug. The DRM thinks your panel's EDID is invalid for some reason or another. I'm not 100% sure if it'll make it there, but there may be a /sys/class/drm/card0-DVI-I-1/edid file. Are you able to either login blindly and copy it somewhere for upload, or ssh into the machine and copy it. There is an edid file, but it is empty. I include a dmesg from startup and the directory listing from /sys/class/drm/card0-DVI-I-1 as a putty-logfile here: http://pastebin.com/m5e24814a I also tried the VGA output on the Nvidia GS8400 card, similar result. Is there any possibility to check the edid-return of my screen (a LG Flatron M1917A, analog Input)? Regards Karsten This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Can I get an update on the situation if you update to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=147895 ? Thanks! (In reply to comment #6) > Can I get an update on the situation if you update to > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=147895 ? > > Thanks! I installed and tried kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686, but unfortunately no changes. I still need to use the nomodeset - option. Also with the latest kernel from Rawhide (2.6.32.2-18.fc13) i need to have nomodeset enabled. Regards Karsten Status update: Using: kernel 2.6.33-0.40.rc7.git0.fc13.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-0.20100205gite75dd23.fc13.i686 nouveau-firmware-20091212-1mnb2.noarch i no longer need the nomodeset option at boot. I'm using a modified xorg.conf for my needs, i got the Geforce 8400GS with the nouveau driver working. Regards Karsten Thank you :) |
