Description of problem: I have installed Fedora 13 on a 6-year-old Compaq Presario SR1010NX desktop (which ran Fedora 9 just fine) but cannot boot the machine into runlevel 5 (graphical mode). Manually creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a vesa device works, but then the monitor is listed as "unknown" (by System-->Preferences-->Monitors), is blurry, and has no configurable options. Here's my hardware: - CPU: 2.7 MHz Celeron - RAM: 512 MB - BIOS: Phoenix AwardBIOS rev. 3.09 03/25/2004 - Motherboard: MSI MX-6577 M-ATX Rev. 3.1 - Display adapter: integrated Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV - IDE controller: Intel 82801DB Ultra ATA Storage Controller-24CB - Hard disk: ST340015A - CD drive: Samsung CD-R/RW SW-252S - Monitor: Dell 1503FP analog LCD - Network adapter: Realtek RTL8139/810x - Audio: integrated Realtek AC'97 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.fc13.i686 How reproducible: If there is one, delete the xorg.conf, and do the following steps. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a live Fedora 13 USB stick. 2. Reboot the PC. 3. The Grub screen appears. Add "acpi=off" to the linux boot line. (Linux won't run on my machine without this line.) 4. Press Enter to begin the boot. Actual results: The boot gets as far as the following line: Starting abrt daemon: [OK] Then the letters on the screen flash a few times, and the boot hangs there with no error messages given. Expected results: The computer should boot into runlevel 5. Additional info: I've tried countless permutations of boot options such as xdriver=vesa, nomodeset, and noprobe. The machine boots fine into single-user mode and runlevel 3, but I can't get it into runlevel 5. I have also tried: 1. nomodeset in grub.conf (but the Fedora site says this has no effect with Fedora 13) 2. rebuilding the intel driver (with one from intellinuxgraphics.org) 3. countless modeline options in xorg.conf I "solved" the problem by creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following lines: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection but this is a very unsatisfactory solution. Fedora 13 should boot just fine into graphical mode without an xorg.conf. The X server should detect my graphics controller, which it does, and load the intel driver properly. Here are the contents of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log before creating an xorg.conf. Note the three errors "(EE)" near the bottom. ===== contents of Xorg.0.log when there is no xorg.conf ===== [ 53.399] X.Org X Server 1.8.0 Release Date: 2010-04-02 [ 53.399] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 53.399] Build Operating System: x86-05 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 [ 53.400] Current Operating System: Linux desktop1 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686 #1 SMP Fri Jun 11 09:48:40 UTC 2010 i686 [ 53.402] Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_desktop1-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_desktop1/lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_desktop1/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us acpi=off rhgb quiet 3 [ 53.402] Build Date: 18 June 2010 05:33:58AM [ 53.402] Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.8.0-17.fc13 [ 53.403] Current version of pixman: 0.18.0 [ 53.403] Before reporting problems, check http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.
