https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463288 Summary: sax2: Always use '-br' Xserver option Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: sndirsch@novell.com QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Due to intel driver, which breaks the complete machine when '-br' Xserver option is not used on i845G, SaX2 should always use this option when starting the Xserver. See upstream bugs * http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17713 * http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19090 --- * The issue is that sax2, which runs during installation (and also on LiveCD), does not use Xserver's "-br" option yet and the problem only occurs when this option is not being set. This is the reasons why xdm/gdm/kdm, which now use "-br" option by default, work after installation (after being forced to reboot). Still it's a driver bug. --- I wrote a /usr/bin/Xorg wrapper to always set '-br' option and then figured out with ps, that it is started one time without -br option. # sort -u ps_output 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/Xorg -logverbose 255 -xf86config /tmp/sysdata-12998 :99 -ac 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg.bin -br -logverbose 255 -xf86conf 0:00 /usr/bin/Xorg.bin -br -logverbose 255 -xf86config /tmp/sysdata-6477 :99 -ac Unfortunately I couldn't find the location yet, where this happens.
