--- Comment #2 from Lee Matheson 2010-05-02 13:52:28 UTC ---
I tested this Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop (with Intel 855GM graphics)
again with 11.3 Milestone6 (build 0577) 32-bit openSUSE KDE4 liveCD, trying
various configurations. There has been some improvement. The situation now is:
a. nominal boot will go straight to X window (KDE) but upon first mouse click
the mouse "click" function becomes unresponsive, although mouse will still
move. Keyboard is partly functional. <ALT><F2> will not bring up run dialog.
<ALT><F12>allows cursor movement of mouse, but <enter> will NOT simulate mouse
click. The X window screen appears unresponsive to any applications.
<CTRL><ALT><F2>brings to full screen text login. I noted from Xorg.0.log that
"intel" driver was loaded by X. I have dmesg, xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log
files available and can provide upon request.
b. nominal boot with extra boot code acpi=OFF. Boot stops indefinitely at "Set
System Time to Current Hardware clock", but pressing <CTRL><C> causes boot to
continue. X comes. Fbdev driver in use again and this time KDE4 runs nominally
with FBDEV driver. Wireless (Intel Pro 2100) functions. I have dmesg,
xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log files available and can provide upon request.
c. boot to run level 3 with extra boot code acpi=OFF. Installed various sax2
applications via USB stick and rpm command. Ran sax2 with: sax2 -r -m 0=vesa.
Then ran startx. X comes up and runs nominally. Copied the xorg.conf created to
a USB stick. I have dmesg, xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log files available and
can provide upon request.
d. reboot to run level 3 nominally (no extra boot codes). Copied from USB stick
the vesa optimised xorg.conf file from step-c into /etc/X11.xorg.conf. Then ran
"startX" and X comes up and runs nominally. This ok function under VESA was a
surprise. I have dmesg, xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log files available and can
provide upon request.
e. logoff X back to run level 3 and installed (via USB stick) various sax2
rpms. Ran "sax2 -r -m 0=intel". Sax2 fails to configure. I have sax2 log and
can post upon request.
f. reboot to run level 3 nominally (no extra boot codes). copied a functional
xorg.conf file for Intel driver from a running openSUSE-11.1 system on same
hardware. ran startx. X comes up, but have same behaviour as reported in "a"
above where X window display becomes unresponsive. I have dmesg,
xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log files available and can provide upon request.
g. reboot to run level 3 nominal (with acpi=off boot code). Copied a functional
xorg.conf file for Intel driver from a running openSUSE-11.1 system on same
hardware. Ran startx. X will not start. [speculation: the <CTRL><C> needed to
restart boot process impacted some process that impacted X loading].
Based on the above, my guess is there are at least three hiccups here. (1)
kernel will not smoothly boot with acpi=off as a <CTRL><C> is needed at a
specific place in boot (2) sax2 can not create an Intel xorg.conf file. (3)
Intel graphic driver does not function well with 2.6.3x.x kernels with this
specific graphic chipset.
