Fixed in kernel-2.6.31.6-147.fc12

Comment 3 libregeek 2009-11-24 05:27:29 UTC

I have checked rawhide and could find only kernel-2.6.32-0.51.rc7.git2.fc13. How long will it take to appear in rawhide?

Comment 4 Charles-Henri d'Adhémar 2009-11-24 09:06:16 UTC

Hi Manilal,

The code is committed here : http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/kernel/F-12/kernel.spec?view=log.

As you can see there is already a kernel-2.6.31.6-148.fc12 being prepared.

You can follow the activity of the 'kernel' package here :
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/community/?package=kernel#package_maintenance

When you will see a version in testing you will be able to test using :
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update 'kernel*'.

If you feel like you know what you are doing you can even test directly from the build system (koji) : http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
where the kernel package are already available...

Comment 5 libregeek 2009-12-08 05:26:48 UTC

Installed kernel-2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64 and now the default resolution is 1024x768 without nomodest option.

But why is that higher resolution(above 1024x768) is still impossible? In F11, the same hardware supported 1280x1024.

Comment 6 libregeek 2009-12-30 09:53:13 UTC

Kernel updated to 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64 and the default resolution switched to 800x600. It seems a failure in regression test. 

Please re-open this bug.

Comment 7 libregeek 2009-12-30 09:57:58 UTC

Sorry, the kernel version is wrong in comment #6. The correct version is kernel-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64

Comment 8 libregeek 2010-01-22 07:37:31 UTC

The kernel is updated 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64, but can't get 1024x768 without "nomodeset".

Comment 9 Colin Macdonald 2010-03-02 13:36:39 UTC

My bug #564032 may be a dupe of this?

Comment 10 Adam Jackson 2010-08-30 20:34:54 UTC

Please provide much more information.  The dmesg and xrandr output from the failed boot would be a good start.

Comment 11 libregeek 2010-08-31 05:01:46 UTC

It seems the issue was with the LCD Monitor(LG L1730S). Recently I replaced the old one with a new monitor(LG L1752S) and the issue was solved. Since I don't have the old monitor I may not be able to provide the log and debug information.
