From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I just got a brand new Dell PowerEdge SC420 server. I installed FC3 and Xorg would kill the video signal and the keyboard as well every time upon boot. Logs say it found an "Unknown Intel Chipset". It took a while to figure out that the driver is loading is the Gereric Vesa driver and the only resolution it supports is 800x600 16. Once I forced this mode, X came up right away. Anyone knows what Video is this thing using? Dell doesn't say. Is it supported by Xorg? My quess is not. All I know is the Chipset on this board is the Intel E7221. A chipset I couldn't even find on the Intel site. Is this custom made for Dell or what? I can't work on 800x600. Is there a workaround for this problem? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start machine 2. wait for X to kick in 3. Monitor signal is gone 4. keyboard is gone Actual Results: There is no monitor signal or keyboard Expected Results: X to start Additional info: Temoporary work around is to edit xorg.conf to default to 16 bit 800x600... LAME!
