Description of problem: Running LiveDVD or attempting to install Fedora 13 beta on Fujitsu Lifebook S760 laptop (Intel i5 M520 CPU) results in a garbage video output. The screen shows just many narrow colored vertical lines. Passing nomodeset as the kernel parameter results in the blank screen, but at least in this case Alt-F2 successfully switches to a text-mode login prompt. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 13 beta How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Boot from LiveDVD for Fedora 13 beta. Actual results: Video is completely garbaged Expected results: Normally working graphical output. lspci output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 12) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06) 00:16.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PT IDER Controller (rev 06) 00:16.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset KT Controller (rev 06) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 6 (rev 06) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev 06) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev a6) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 5 Series Chipset LPC Interface Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset SMBus Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.6 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Thermal Subsystem (rev 06) 10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 6000 Series (rev 35) ff:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QuickPath Architecture Generic Non-core Registers (rev 02) ff:00.1 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QuickPath Architecture System Address Decoder (rev 02) ff:02.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QPI Link 0 (rev 02) ff:02.1 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor QPI Physical 0 (rev 02) ff:02.2 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02) ff:02.3 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02) ~ Note that with a beta of Ubunto 10.4 (2.6.32-19 kernel) everything works just fine.
Just wanted to jump in here with a me too. Broken for me as well on a lenovo t510 with a core i7, intel HD graphics. Exact same symptoms as the original post.
With the F13 everything works properly. So I guess this has been fixed before the release.
Faced the same bug in Fedora 15 and Ubuntu 11.04. Currently using workaround of adding kernel parameter nomodeset=1 with horrible graphics. Link to ubuntu bug I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/788319
