Description of problem: Fedora 9 uses sis driver on sis 671 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): f9 preview How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert f9 live usb stick into sis 671 machine 2. boot 3. Actual results: No graphics!!! sis driver starts, but fails Expected results: vesa driver Additional info:
Sorry, the point here is that the vesa driver should have been chosen, but the sis was instead - it then failed to start.
William, could we get generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.*.log from the failed attempt with sis driver please attached to this bug as uncompressed separate attachments? Thank you
Created attachment 302995 [details] log file from failed x attempt
There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf created - should thee be?
That's OK, thanks.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages (at least F12Beta, but even better if the very latest versions). Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
Setting this bug to CLOSED WONTFIX. Fedora 9 is End Of Life and is no longer supported. This bug was not re-versioned beyond 9, so am assuming it is now OBE. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
