BAD: Impossible to use this version
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:58 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Description of problem: There is a mismatch between the Kernel and Xserver It starts when trying to install using the graphical anaconda. I see only fog as soon as the xserver has started. The text dased Anaconda works fine. Then I have to try a few times (pushing the reset button) before I can finish the install (this is again always graphical). Then I cant work: the login screen appairs (KDE system) but as soon as the personal KDE session starts I have the fog again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): standard core 3 release (CD version) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just reinstall core 3 2. 3. Actual Results: fog screen Expected Results: correct xserver settings Additional info: I tried this install several times this weekend. I did the installation after a failed update of a core 2 system. This update resulted in a xsystem that did not refresh the background and had problems with applets and widgets. I knew how to use the updatemanager and thus I realised to update the kernel and KDE base. This system then worked fine but samba crashed, updating this did fail and I decided to reinstall with format the complete package. Resulting is a complete useless system. Finally I installed the core 2 back over the system and everything works as before.
recreating the install CD with the latest versions of all modules should solve this. (updating the first attempt to Core 3 did solve the fog/corrupt xserver)
"There is a mismatch between the Kernel and Xserver" There is no real relationship between the two packages apart from 3D. this sounds more like an X bug.
It could be that the problem is in the 3D part. I know that my graphics adapter does not support this. It is an "old" Dell P3 800Mhz system with integrated graphics adapter.
The graphics controller is an integrated Intel 82810E DC-133 chipset
This isn't kernel or 3D related actually. It is a known problem reported numerous times in bugzilla for i815/i830 video, which is fixed in rawhide, soon to be released as an update for FC3 as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 132267 ***
