Description Orion Poplawski 2006-10-12 21:04:11 UTC
Description of problem:

With today's rawhide (20061012), stock config gives me no display (just some
crazy scan lines).  Can't switch to text consoles either - same bad display.

xorg-x11-drv-neomagic-1.1.1-2.1

This patch fixes the problem:

This patch is in the upstream bug report but has not been acted on in 2 months.
 Perhaps you would consider applying.  It's trivial and is clearly the right
thing to do.

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2006-10-12 21:23:53 UTC
Hmm, well that fixed the problem back in FC6T2, but appears to have no effect on
what I'm seeing now.



Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2007-07-27 16:45:52 UTC
Now with Fedora 7, xorg-x11-server 1.3.0.0-9.fc7 and neomagic 1.1.1 I get no
display at all and the following error:

(EE) NEOMAGIC(0): Only 640x480,
     800x600,
 and 1024x768 panels are currently supported
(II) UnloadModule: "neomagic"
(II) UnloadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libvgahw.so
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Have we completely lost support for external displays?

Applying my patch above makes no difference now.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2007-07-30 14:54:38 UTC
Can we get updated version of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if any
exists) as separate uncompressed attachments to this bug, please?

Comment 8 Matěj Cepl 2007-07-31 10:08:56 UTC
Could you try to run Xorg without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever, please?
What does the magical auto-detection give us?

Comment 9 Matěj Cepl 2007-08-31 22:42:33 UTC
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in
