Description Felipe Amaral 2011-06-28 20:26:08 UTC

Description of problem: I have a netbook with a Intel GMA500 Video Chipset.
I was using the Live CD Fedora 15 (Gnome) with Vesa Driver. Working ok, but VERY slow. At this time, the Fedora was installed on my machine. After a update, the yum installed the Poulsbo driver, but the X server wasn't starting anymore. It was 'saying' "No display found". After a couple of hours, I've downloaded the KDE version, and happened the same thing.

After a few days I gave up and downloaded the Ubuntu 11.04 because I found on google that the Ubuntu was using a new driver called "EMGD". Now I'm using this driver on Ubuntu and runs perfectly.

I really like Fedora, and I want to know if there any way to use this new EMGD driver on a Fedora installation.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 Gnome or KDE


How reproducible: Don't know


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy Fedora 15 LiveCD to thumb drive
2. Install on a GMA500 chipset
3. Update the O.S.
  
Actual results:

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:33:16 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
