When installing 7.0 on a PC which has a FIC PAG-2130 motherboard with VIA MVP4 and thus built-in Trident CyberBlade and a ViewSonic GT775 monitor the graphical installer starts up in a video mode that the monitor can't grok at all. After installing in text mode X seems to semi-work - 640x480 is okay but all other resolutions don't work like with the installer. In the installer the messages from the X server contain (--) SVGA: PCI: Trident CyberBlade/i7 rev 91, Memory @ 0xe5800000, 0xe6000000 (--) Trident chipset version: 0xf3 (CyberBlade/i7) (--) SVGA: Detected an STN 1280x1024 Display (--) SVGA: Revision 91. (--) SVGA: Using Trident programmable clocks (--) SVGA: chipset: cyberblade (**) SVGA: videoram: 8192k (**) SVGA: Using 8 bpp, Depth 8, Color weight: 666 (--) SVGA: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 230.000 MHz (--) SVGA: Chipset supports a max. heightof 1024, Adjust Modes in XF86Config. (**) SVGA: Mode "640x480": mode clock = 45.800 (--) SVGA: Virtual resolution set to 640x480 (--) SVGA: SpeedUp code selection modified because virtualX != 1024 (--) SVGA: Using Linear Frame Buffer at 0x05e800000, Size 8MB The working 640x480 mode says the same except for (**) SVGA: Mode "640x480": mode clock = 36.000 Without being an expert on the X server I'd say that the bit about having detected an STN display sounds a bit fishy. Bug # 19097 seems a lot like this one, only not on the exact same video card.
Just tried the 4.0 X server which seems to be semi-working in other exciting ways. Some other resolutions almost work, but the mouse pointer is missing, and swithcing between them caused the PC to lock up hard - power off required. Among a lot of other stuff the 4.0 X server goes (--) TRIDENT(0): Revision is 91 (--) TRIDENT(0): Found CyberBlade/i7 chip (--) TRIDENT(0): RAM type is SDRAM (--) TRIDENT(0): Found 8MB board, using 4MB (--) TRIDENT(0): VideoRAM: 4096 kByte (--) TRIDENT(0): TFT Panel 1280x1024 found so it seems like the display misdetection is common for the two.
Please try my latest XFree86 packages and see if they solve the problem: ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/xfree86 Make sure you also get Mesa-3.4-11 or else you may have problems. Does this fix it for you?
