Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Change ITM to 14, since it still not merger into compose build, thanks

Checked with the compose RHEL-9.0.0-20211124.3, now the xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.11-5.el9 was merged and the GUI installation works well on Hyperv GEN1, mark verified.

Comment 24 Orion Poplawski 2022-01-13 00:46:51 UTC

So, I *think* this breaks use of the "dummy" driver with Xorg.  My configurations that work on Fedora do not work in EL9.  Difference in logs:

- = good (rawhide)
+ = bad (epel9)

So, we don't seem to "fall back to old probe method for dummy" - but I can't figure out how to enable that.  Or perhaps something else?


Is there something else I need to add to the xorg.conf to load the dummy driver?
