Description Diana Inkpen 2004-05-17 16:23:34 UTC
Description of problem: Video card not supported. My video card is 
Trident XP4m32 Graphic Processing Unit, on a laptop Toshiba Protege 
R100. WindowsXP on the same laptop uses a video card driver Trident 
XP4 / Cyber-XP4. 
Fedora works on my videocard with VESA driver (generic) but I cannot  
see what is on the screen unless I limit to 256 color.


Description of another problem: CD-ROM or PCMCIA not supported. 
 On the same laptop, Toshiba Protege R100, I cannot use my Targus 
slim-line DVD/CD-RW Drive 32 bit CardBus and 16-bit PC card. Probably 
the Toshiba ToPIC100 Card Bus Controller is not supported?

I would appreciate if support for my videocard and CD unit can be 
added in the future. Thank you.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2004-09-21 06:21:16 UTC
Thanks for the bug report.  We need you to supply the output of the
following command, in order to investigate the failure:

lspci -vvn

In addition to that, can you please manually edit the config file
for your X server and set the driver name to "trident" and try
starting the X server.  If this fails or does not work for any
reason, please try using the "vesa" driver instead.

Please indicate which if any of the above two drivers work with
your video hardware, and we will investigate the issue further once
you've updated the report with this information.

Thanks in advance.


Setting bug status to "NEEDINFO" pending requested information.

Comment 3 Diana Inkpen 2004-09-22 03:23:29 UTC
It work with vesa driver, but only with the lowest possible number of
colors. If I set it to 256 colors, I can see what is on the dislay.
With more colors it does not work, the display is unreadable and the
colors are strange and mixed up. 

With trident diver it cannot start the X server.

lspci -vvn

Comment 4 Helmut Manck 2004-11-02 20:30:08 UTC
Same Laptop, different result: I use FC2 on the R100 and use the
trident driver, but the driver is awfully slow, xv does not work. Vesa
is somehow colorcorrupted, if 16 bit used, but works and is more fast.

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-21 16:34:06 UTC
Here's the PCI ID of your video hardware:

01:00.0 Class 0300: 1023:2100 (rev 91)
        Subsystem: 1179:0002

Device ID 0x2100 is present in our "pcitable" database as:

    0x1023  0x2100  "Card:Trident CyberBlade (generic)"

Which the "Cards" database maps to the following driver:

NAME Trident CyberBlade (generic)
CHIPSET CyberBlade
DRIVER trident
NOCLOCKPROBE


Please do the following steps:

- Upgrade to xorg-x11-6.8.2 from Fedora development.

- Run "system-config-display --reconfig", it should automatically
  use the "trident" driver.

- Reboot your system completely, to force a full video hardware reset.

- When the system comes up, start X using the trident driver.


You mention above:
> With trident diver it cannot start the X server.

If that is the case, then test the new xorg-x11 as requested above.  If
the problem you are experiencing with the "trident" driver persists, please
file a new bug report in X.Org bugzilla located at:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component.

When you file your bug report in X.Org bugzilla, attach the X server config
file, and log file from your failed session using the "trident" driver.  Also
include all details for how to reproduce the problem.  If you've found any
workarounds with the "trident" driver, please indicate them in the X.Org
bug report as well.

Once you've filed your bug report in X.Org bugzilla, please paste the URL
here and Red Hat will track the issue in the upstream bugzilla and review
any fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 7 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-29 19:54:24 UTC
Moving off FC4Blocker list to FC4Target due to lack of feedback however
if problem still occurs, please provide a status update with the information
requested in comment #6.

Comment 8 Mike A. Harris 2005-04-05 16:10:48 UTC
Assuming bug is no longer occuring, due to lack of feedback, and closing
as "RAWHIDE".  If this is incorrect, follow the steps in comment #6
above, update the report with the information requested, and reopen the
report and we'll review it again.

Thanks.
