[Bug 229853] New: cannot install with clgd5446 pci graphics card
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229853 Summary: cannot install with clgd5446 pci graphics card Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: teheo@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Okay, call me crazy but I still use Cirrus Logic GD 5446 PCI graphics card (1013:00b8). I can understand if suse 10.2 doesn't support this venerable thingie and x and graphical installation don't work, but complete installation failure is a bit extreme. What happens is... * During the first installation phase, YaST2 complains that the graphics card isn't powerful enough and reverts to text mode, which is all fine and dandy. * After reboot, when the 'continue' phase of YaST installation starts, YaST2 is against started but this time it doesn't revert to text mode. It renders the screen but fails to draw any text or response to input. Switching to other vt works. Switching to vt2 and killing it makes things continue but it ends up at login prompt where root login is prohibited (no password set yet) and no other user added. I don't think clgd5446 support is anywhere near critical, so rejecting this bug is fine too but please consider at least making phase#2 use detection result from phase#1 (ie. if phase#1 was done in console, do the same for phase#2). FYI, clgd5446 can happily do 1024x768x256 X windows. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

This looks like a problem in the vesa driver. According to the log the kernel is not able to boot with a framebuffer console therefore the installation procedure decided to use the vesa driver. In the first stage of the installation the problem was: Stage [call]: =================================== |-- No Framebuffer available: Using vesa driver |-- TestX: XOpenDisplay failed |-- UI_args: Running in fullscreen mode |-- X-Server couldn't be started, falling back to ncurses which allows you to install in ncurses mode. In the second stage the X-Server was able to start with the vesa driver which is weird because the same configuration file is used compared to the first stage. The problem here is even worse: Stage [call]: =================================== |-- No Framebuffer available: Using vesa driver |-- X-Server is ready: 3670 |-- UI_args: Running in fullscreen mode but your X-Server isn't able to display anything useful which seems to be a bug in the vesa driver -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I suggest to force textmode for installation for this device. Then textmode should also be used for the 2nd stage of the installation. In case you want to help us investigate the vesa driver issue, you could try to run the vesa driver also after installation by copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (backup xorg.conf first!). After running X and reporting the results, please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I need to debug this. I think I've got a clgd5446 in my collection so I should be able to test this problem, too. I will assign this to me as a reminder to check the VESA driver. On the other hand the native driver for this chip *should* work. Also according to the log files the VESA BIOS should be able to set a 1024x768@16bpp mode which should be sufficient for installation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

If this works the installation should also work fine by using the native driver when adding "acceleratedx=1" to the kernel boot commandline at the beginning of the installation. Reassigning to Egbert. Egbert, you should know, that we disabled shadowfb for vesa driver during installation, since it has been broken for openSUSE 10.2. This issue has been fixed meanwhile in git (vesa driver release 1.3.0). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I typed acceleratedx=1 in the boot param text entry field which appears when the install dvd boots but I'm still dropped into CLI installation.

If you can give me the exact date I can make it a point to be there as I wanted to go there anyway. I think I do have a clgd5446 in my collection. I do have a 5448 which is the same series (alpine). Anyway, these cards are easy to get thru ebay. The laguna series is a lot harder to find. I managed to get a 5465 the other day. I'm curious: the problems above seem to be related to the VESA driver.
