If you write me a reply on your test results for KMS on RC2 (whether it works or not) please include the following information (KMS: whether Xorg initializes graphics mode correctly): * your graphics card model including output of "hwinfo --gfxcard" * kernel (uname -r) * tested monitors + connectors/ports (HDMI, DVI, VGA, integrated) (if a problem exists also look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log whether there is a message like wrong EDID checksum (extended display identification record)) * actual result: (1) garbeled screen (pixelry/vertical colorful lines) - (2) black screen - (3) Xorg returns after unsuccessful attempts to set a graphics mode (more than one attempt may be useful) - (4) others usage hints: * boot into runlevel 3/5: kernel parameter "3" ("5" start Xorg/graphics surface is standard) as entered in Grub, or a manual "init 5", "init 3" from a text console * use "xinit" instead of "init 5" - just starting an Xorg with xterm is much faster than booting into KDE/gnome - and the test results tend to be cleaner (leave xterm by 'exit') - use 'twm &' or 'kwin &' to enable moving or resizing your xterm * view the log: 'less /var/log/Xorg.0.log' - use "/EDID" + [n]/[N] to search for EDID related messages * if Xorg is started you can of course switch back to text console by [Alt][Ctrl]-[F1]/[F2]/.. - [F7]/[F8] is Xorg (see also: fgconsole, chvt, xinit xterm -- vt08) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
