Description Jeff Guerdat 2007-05-24 14:23:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Using the Intel video driver on my Toshiba Satellite A105 (915GM video) the
graphic screen during boot is blank (blue background only with mouse cursor). 
Additionally, if something causes the display to show a failure, the text is at
least 128 point.  Once the user interface starts, all is well.

Use of the i810 driver works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use Intel driver in xorg.conf
2.Boot
3.
  
Actual results:
Blank graphic screen with huge text if details are displayed

Expected results:
Normal rhgb screen with normal-sized text

Could we get /var/log/Xorg.*.log as well?

log using Intel driver

This log is from a boot using the Intel driver which results in only a blue
graphics screen (with pointer) but no display.	If text is displayed, as with
the network taking time to get its address, the font is huge (the "Hide
Details" link takes about 2/3 of the screen horizontally).

X setup log

Comment 5 Jeff Guerdat 2007-05-31 10:55:31 UTC
Provided Xorg.0.log and Xorg.setup.log, as requested.  Anything else?

Comment 6 Jesse Barnes 2008-01-10 22:38:31 UTC
I don't know about the details of rhgb, but if the regular X session is 
working correctly, maybe something is wrong with just the boot splash stuff.

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 02:56:02 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
