Description of problem: When booting the rawhide-KDE4-i686-20080109.4.iso live CD on an Dell Optiplex SX270, the display is fine until booting into the main desktop (i.e. the KDE "loading" sequence display is good), but then the desktop display is corrupted. It is somewhat difficult to describe the corruption - the screen contents are vaguely visible at about the right size, but not well defined. For example, a dialog box can just be made out, but most (perhaps 80%+?) of the pixels are corrupted, and while I can just make out the dialog buttons, all the text is unreadable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Unknown - as used on subject live CD. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot liveCD 2. Observe display through KDE startup - OK 3. Observe display at KWin startup. Actual results: Display corruption. Expected results: Nice clear display Additional info: The same machine is working fine with a self-compiled KDE4 (from about a week prior to KDE4 release), using xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.1.1.-7.fc8 The graphics hardware is Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Sorry for the poor description of the corruption.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. I think you can try to use your digital camera (if you have any) and try to make a snapshot of the screen. Is it possible? We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
Just close it - I can't get the required data (except for a photo of the corruption) on a live CD.
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
