Description of problem: With the released Beta of the Fedora 9 the display is corrupted (both in Anaconda when booting from the install DVD and from the Live CD in RHGB, GDM and the desktop): no text, no icons, no widgets (buttons). This happens when booting from the real media, running the images with qemu is fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 9 Beta How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from the F9 Beta Live CD Actual results: xorg is unusable. Expected results: Usable desktop or Anaconda. Additional info: Screenshots of how the desktop looks like (Anaconda is exactly the same): http://nicubunu.ro/pictures/f9beta/
Sorry, forgot to mention: this is using Intel on-board graphics (82G965)
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. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Created attachment 299129 [details] as requested, xorg.cong This is the default xorg.conf file, as booted from Live CD
Created attachment 299130 [details] as requested, Xorg.0.log the only Xorg.*.log file
Attached the requested logs. I can't run without /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as the issue appears when running from the Live CD and the install media (F9 Beta install DVD), this is not possible.
It seems to be the same as #437910, #438952 and #436746.
I'm seeing similar corruption during the install phase with Anaconda, using on-board G965 ("GMA X3000") graphics with my Core 2 Duo setup (running x86_64). Text-mode seems to work fine, though. I will try forcing the Vesa driver.

The vesa driver worked nicely for the install (though it did look a bit stretched at 1280x01024 on my widescreen LCD, but that's to be expected); and after installation switching back to the intel driver worked at least as well as it did in F8.
I have the same problem, with an all-Intel laptop, including X3100 video. I tried booting the live CD (on usb stick) with xdriver=vesa, but I still encountered the missing font problem.
Seems to be fixed in the latest rawhide livecd. It's working as expected now on my system.
Confirmed, forks for me with the 20080328 Rawhide snapshot Lice CD. HAve not tested yet for Anaconda.
Are you certain the 0328 livecd is still using the intel driver?
The 20080404 Rawhide snapshot Live CD works correctly and is using the "intel" driver.
Oh, livecd, not anaconda. Disregard my comment.
Marking fixed per comment #18
