Created attachment 337962 [details] dmesg output from Dell box after F11Beta install Description of problem: Invisible mouse pointer after F11Beta install, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Here is a interesting bit from the attached dmesg log: ======================================================= [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.29-21.fc11.i686.PAE #1 ------------------------------------------------------- Xorg/2230 is trying to acquire lock: (&mm->mmap_sem){----}, at: [<c0499d3a>] might_fault+0x48/0x85 but task is already holding lock: (&dev->struct_mutex){--..}, at: [<f82ca99a>] i915_gem_execbuffer+0xd6/0xa0b [i915]

Note: I did a "yum update" after the initial F11Beta install.
I worked around the bug by adding nomodeset to the grub kernel line. In the file "/boot/grub/grub.conf" I now have this entry: title Fedora (2.6.29.1-46.fc11.i686.PAE) nomodeset root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.1-46.fc11.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_qed-lv_root nomodeset
I'm seeing the same problem with the F-11 Snap1 Live CD on a Compaq EVO D510 with Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device rev 1. Works OK by booting with "nomodeset".
This is a known issue (488980) for i8xx chipsets. Are you sure yours is an i915? Can you paste the output of 'lspci -nn'? Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

I agree that I am having the same problem as described in 488980 I did a search before creating this bug, not sure why there were no hits for 488980
I changed the topic for 488980 yesterday - before that it was a bit different and not as likely to show up in searches (I actually had trouble finding it when I went looking). Your hardware doesn't look like an i8xx chip, though, so this bug - while similar - may not actually be the same. Leaving as a separate report and accepting it for now. Thanks for the report. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. 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. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD . 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.]
Works okay with F12. Thanks, Pat ---
would you like to keep this open to see if it can be fixed in f11, or are you happy with it working in f12? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I'm happy with F12, feel free to close it. Thanks for a great beta, Pat ---
excellent, thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
