Description William Murray 2008-03-26 18:20:09 EDT

Description of problem:
Display is incredibly slow, small errors abound. Probably related to incorrect
display size?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
f8.92

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot laptop, Advent 9115
2. Use NOAPIC ACPI=off to make above work
3. Thats it
  
Actual results:
Screen corrupted in small areas. Really extremely slow

Expected results:
Working fine. As in F8.

Additional info:
F9 selects 
(WW) VESA(0): Unable to estimate virtual size
(--) VESA(0): Virtual size is 1280x768 (pitch 1280)
While Kanotix found:
(II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "1280x768" (width too large for virtual size)
(--) VESA(0): Virtual size is 1024x768 (pitch 1024)

Created attachment 299246 [details]
Xorg.0.log from fedora 8

This uses 1280 x 768, showing that the 1280 is not a problem.
F8 graphics works fine.

Comment 3 William Murray 2008-03-31 14:49:55 EDT

Test with liveCD from Rawhidr 20080327 showed a screen roateted
by about 200 pixels right, but still slow and corrupt. Not really an
improvment!

Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2008-04-01 16:03:54 EDT

I'm impressed it works at all.

Looks like sis BIOSes are extremely unhappy with how we're doing VBE now.

Comment 5 William Murray 2008-04-03 14:13:03 EDT

Um. is that supposed to be discourging? Or does it mean someone is looking at it?
Its not good news with F9 supposed to be weeks away...

Comment 6 Adam Jackson 2008-04-09 10:39:27 EDT

It means I was looking at it.  And I even found a fix!  How cool is that.

Should be fixed in xorg-x11-server 1.4.99.901-19.
