Description Mace Moneta 2005-06-15 05:15:28 UTC
Description of problem:

The Powerbook Pismo X is incorrectly configured, preventing a graphical install
and causing X to fail at first boot after installation.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt graphical install (fails)
2.Install in text mode to recover
3.Reboot after installation (X fails)
  
Actual results:

X will not run

Expected results:

X running normally

Additional info:

The following option statements were added to xorg.conf in the device section to
correct the problem:

---
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "r128"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "ATI Rage 128 Mobility"
        Option      "UseFBDev" "true"
        Option      "DMAForXv" "true"
        Option      "PanelWidth" "1024"
        Option      "PanelHeight" "768"
EndSection
---

In addition, the 1024x768 resolution wasa missing from the screen section, and
had to be added (1024x768 is the native resolution of the screen):

---
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

"system-config-display" is responsible for all X configuration, so this
would be something that would need to be resolved in that component rather
than in xorg-x11.

Reassigning...

Comment 2 Adam Jackson 2006-03-22 19:59:41 UTC
can you attach the broken X config, and a log from the failed startup?

Xorg.setup.log

I'm pretty sure this is the log from the broken xorg.conf.  It's been 9 months
since I opened the problem report and I don't remember the details anymore.

Comment 5 Adam Jackson 2006-03-22 21:11:25 UTC
interesting.  i don't have one of these handy to test, i'll see what i can come
up with though.

I performed a clean install of FC6 on this system today, and the same problem
exists.

I attached the installation files, as well as the installed (broken) xorg.conf
(as xorg.conf.original) and my modified xorg.conf (working).

Comment 12 Adam Jackson 2006-12-11 20:49:41 UTC
Can you also attach your X startup logs (both from the original and modified
xorg.conf)?

Comment 13 Mace Moneta 2006-12-14 20:19:35 UTC
I'm sorry, I no longer have access to this equipment.  Since no one else has
added themselves as a CC to this bug, I assume it's of no interest.  Closing.
