Created attachment 585170 [details] Xorg.log.intel I have tried to activate intel card with help of switcheroo Xorg.log has no (EE) code, the discrete card (radeon) was switched off. Still having the black screen after at the finish. I have used xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "intel" EndSection And /etc/rc.local (started with system.d) chown vv:vv /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch and in fstab, of course, I mounted /sys/kernel/debug as debugfs

It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
still happens with latest f19, can you boot without nomodeset to runlevel 3 and get the dmesg? dmesg with nomodeset doesn't tell us anything.
Dear Dave, Could you please remove this bug. The given laptop had a number problems in running linux, so I shaked it off. Sorry! V
Hey, I have also got a HP Envy 12 something. And am running into this or a similar problem - after boot the screen stays blank. Let me attach the conf snippet which solved it. Also the logs.
