Description of problem: Missing PCI ID for an Intel 915-based graphics card on a Sony VAIO laptop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hwdata-0.158.3-1 Additional info: The card works fine with the i810 driver in X.org if I manually configure it, but the installer chooses VESA because the system doesn't realize which driver the card should use. The card reports these PCI IDs: VGA compatible controller 00:02.0 Class 0300: 8086:2592 (rev 03) [Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller] Display controller 00:02.1 Class 0380: 8086:2792 (rev 03) [Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller]
Odd. See the comments about the driver in 172556.

According to mharris, FC5 (devel) CVS was missing a few patches in the .spec file for xorg (one of them being backported support for 915GM and others). They have been added in xorg-x11-6.8.2-62 that is set to hit rawhide today... Until the, it can be found under ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable/xorg-x11/ It fixes the issue on my system! Now we just have to wait for anaconda to be rebuilt on the fixed release and I guess my installer issue will disappear as well.
Instead of static lists in hwdata, these should be moving to files included with each driver package.
Fixed in xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.4.1.3-2
