Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 168717
pci-config space patch causes regression with Intel driver
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:20 EST
Description of problem: The latest errata-candidate packages break the Intel driver. X attempts to start and fails; the logs indicate that the system can't find the card's VideoRAM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.2 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install errata-candidate xorg-x11 packages on a system with an Intel chipset. 2. Launch X. 3. View X debug output. Actual results: X fails to launch and spews errors to the terminal. Expected results: X should launch and work properly.
Oops. Correct package version is xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.19, not 13.12.
Kristian has investigated this, and is building new packages.
Looks like the 13.20 packages fix the issue on the Intel-based machine I was reproducing on.
From User-Agent: XML-RPC xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
I had the same problem with Fedora Core 3 with the update xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45 With the last update xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.1 I have recovered the X system but not all the functionality. Namely, I have a dell 500m laptop and with previous packages I could close the laptop with the computer on, leaving the screen off and later I was able to wake up the screen passing to a console and then to the X system (this trick might mean that the woke up was not as clean as should). With the latest package the screen does no more wake up.
I have the same problem (the screen does not wake up when I open the lid) on my Dell latitude D505 laptop running FC3 and xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.2. I used to be able to wake it up by first switching to a text terminal (pressing alt-ctrl-1) and then switch back to X (pressing alt-ctrl-7), so it was not perfect before either since it did not wake up automatically. But now this trick doesn't work either.
