[Bug 463288] New: sax2: Always use '-br' Xserver option
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.

I'm afraid an update for openSUSE 11.1 will be useless since package updates are probably done after X.Org configuration and the issue exists only during installation.
Useless to those who change video chips and must run sax2 or yast from tty[1-6] shell prompt to get X back? -- 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.

I plan an sax2 update once SLE11 is done. This will fix installation for users, which disable automatic configuration (which unfortunately is the default) and do an online update during 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.

I am unclear how I am to configure the video manually.
You could try using this. It's set to 1600x1200 & 120 DPI for a CRT. -- 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.
