I upgraded to latest BIOS (v 3.10 from v 1.03) for this notebook in the hope that this problem is caused by an old ACPI version. The problem still there. Please boot the machine with KMS enabled and drm.debug=4 on the kernel command line, and ssh in after bootup and attach the dmesg output. Created attachment 542402 [details]
dmesg with KMS and drm.debug=4
Attached the requested dmesg, the currently running kernel is 3.1.4-1.fc16.x86_64. Created attachment 545222 [details] New dmesg with KMS and drm.debug=4 , kernel-3.1.5-1 I saw BZ 731296 and it's resolution with today's kernel version from updates-testing. Unfortunately it didn't help my problem. I tried kernel-3.2.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc17.x86_64 from koji as it contains the patchset from http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132405727431535&w=2 but it didn't help. The screen still goes black on my notebook. Can you attach the output from the 'intel_reg_dumper' tool (in the intel-gpu-tools package) for both a boot with KMS and a boot without?

I had the opportunity to upgrade a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Li 3710 notebook to Fedora 16. This has the exact same videochip as my notebook in my original report and KMS works perfectly on this notebook. So, it should not be a big problem to fix it. I just retested my notebook with the latest 3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64 kernel, the screen black as soon as KMS switches to the native 1366x768 resolution. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I just installed Fedora 18 from scratch on this notebook. Although KMS produces a native picture, it's so dim that it's barely visible. The Fn + Up/Down buttons that should change the brightness did nothing. I had to resort to VESA mode during installation which is ok. All three sets of kernel/X server/Intel driver combination do the same: - the installation DVD - the first installed set - the set after the first "yum upgrade" The currently installed versions are: # rpm -q xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-drv-intel kernel xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.1-4.fc18.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.20.16-1.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64 Created attachment 679730 [details]

I have found the solution to this problem and now my notebook runs in the LCD native resolution. According to http://www.linlap.com/acer_emachines_e525 I had to put acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub then regenerate grub.cfg. glxinfo reports OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0.1 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 Fedora 18 now works fast on this old notebook. |
Created attachment 537607 [details] Xorg.0.log with using the intel driver on F16 Description of problem: I just upgraded to Fedora 16 on my notebook since Fedora 13 that was previously installed on it is not supported anymore. The problem is that both the DVD installer and the installed system shows only black screen instead of graphical boot. I have to choose the non-graphical installer boot which can successfully switch to graphics and present the installer screens. The installed system uses "nomodeset" and when I delete it from grub.conf, booting tries to switch to graphical mode but it goes black. The system boots up, and it responds to Ctrl-Alt-F2 so I can switch to console and reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Fedora 13 nicely used graphical boot since day one until I reinstalled it. The notebook is Acer Emachines E525.
