From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: After fresh install core3-test3 the Matrox G550 Driver fails to display any X on the DVI-Port of my TFT. This error is already known to me since Red Hat 9! (See related bugs for that). To solve, i have to copy manually the original drivers from Matrox to the /usr/X11/lib/modules/dri and /usr/X11/lib/modules/drivers directories and after that restart X. The install.sh script from Matrox thinks that the drivers are already up to date, though they are not! Everything is fine after that. But i think it should be possible to include those drivers to the shipped package finally! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): any xorg-x11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh install fc3-test3 2. Reboot 3. Look at the Screen and see the black whole... ;-) 4. Copy manually drivers to appropriate path 5. Restart X-Server 6. Use X Expected Results: Workings drivers should be included in shipped packages (it's only to change these 3 files!) Additional info:
updated new paket to release 6.8 and still the same issue. Copied drivers to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri(vers) and everything is fine. So why simply change those 3 files?
Fedora Core is comprised entirely of open source software. Only open source software will be included in Fedora Core. Matrox's hallib is not open source, and as such will never be part of Fedora Core. DVI is unsupported on the open source driver on G550. You can file a bug report to http://bugs.freedesktop.org however if you'd like the issue to be tracked for future upstream enhancement. Setting status to "WONTFIX".
