Created attachment 336175 [details] Xorg.0.log of X that failed to start. Description of problem: The Live CD of Fedora 10 on eMachines T2625 goes off into the weeds because the Savage driver doesn't default or ask for resolution when EDID does not provide it. My computer is on a KVM which does not pass EDID information. Previous versions of Fedora did work (although I no longer remember which ones). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Hard to tell what the released version is on the Live CD but it must be the same as on the installation DVD, which is xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.2.0-2.fc9. Note: I kid you not, there is an "fc9" in the package file name (and the package name) for the savage driver on my Fedora 10 installation DVD. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Fedora 10 live CD on eMachines T2625 with a display that does not support EDID Actual results: X fails to start Expected results: X starts Additional info: Ubuntu Intrepid has this same problem. Maybe their solution works too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/217004 By using ctrl-alt-Fn, I was able to find a shell and do some investigation. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows: (EE) SAVAGE(0): No valid modes found This seems to be the failure. There seems to also be an MTRR problem but I don't think that that is relevant.
Should be fixed in xorg-x11-drv-savage 2.2.1-1.fc11, building in koji now. Please test and reopen if this is still a problem for you.
