From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: I have a Dell Dimension 4700C. Under Core 2.90 the VESA driver was selected and worked well. After an upgrade to Core 4 the same xorg.conf file does not work and is exactly the same file generated after running system-config-display --configure The X server does not get an error on startup but I do get the following message from startx: (WW) VESA(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0x26400000,0x7b0000) The driver that actually worked is i810. The actual display is just totally messed up and frozen. I can abort the server via Ctl-Alt-F7. I selected this as a high priority because I really don't expect people to be able to figure out what the correct colution is. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-display-1.0.29-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade from Core 2.90 to 4 2. 3. Actual Results: Display is trashed. Expected Results: See additional data below.

The problem should be fixed in xorg-x11-6.8.2-45. Can you give it a try ?
From the author (by e-mail): the vesa driver works with -45. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 163331 ***
