https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427978 Summary: Xserver unable to start with intel or i810 driver Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Alpha 3plus Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: trust.no.1.xf@gmail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Community User Linux Kernel 2.6.27-rc5-git9-6-pae KDE 4.1.66 (KDE 4.2 >= 20080912)) "release 2.1" Xorg 7.3/7.4 Intel i845G onboard chipset with intel driver Sceptre X20WG - Naga II (1680x1050) 20" LCD Monitor Several weeks ago I updated, rebooted, and my xserver would no longer start. I would (and still do) get either a blank screen or a screen with static & colors. Steps to Reproduce: Simply start openSUSE 11.1a2/a3 with the intel driver. I have tried everything one could possibly think of but the xserver simply will not function correctly with Xorg 7.3/7.4 with the intel driver. (I get the same result mentioned above with 7.4 that I did with 7.3). I also tried the i810 driver but the relevant part of what it spits out is at the end: "no screens found." I have hacked the xorg.conf file every way imaginable to no avail. I figured this could have been a configuration problem so i reinstalled openSUSE 11.1a2 but the problem was still there. (I burned the DVD at the lowest possible speed & the data was verified correct with k3b. I also did a media check with the DVD before installing & that was fine too). So I upgraded to 11.1a3+ but that didn't fix the problem. The resolution/refresh rate I'm trying to get is 1680x1050 @ 60hz but I can't achieve that. I tried patching a modeline with 915resolution even though I know it is no longer necessary with the intel driver but that didn't work either. I have tried specifying (correct) modelines in my xorg.conf & not specifying modelines but neither method made a difference. I also tried booting up the latest KDE Four livecd & configuring the relevant hardware with sax2 (gui) & saving the xorg.conf & then trying to apply the modified livecd's xorg.conf to my 11.1a3+ install but that didn't work either. (I figured I'd try it since the KDE Four livecd (& sax) works correctly). Running sax2 -a from failsafe command line doesn't work as it just cycles (or scans) through video modes & always leaves me with a blank screen that I either have to ctrl+alt+del or hard reboot to get out of. I am running with the vesa driver in 1024x768 resolution with 16 bit color, which I guess is the best the vesa driver can do. xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1205936 Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.ca/1205950 I noticed this line in particular in the Xorg.0 log but I don't know what it means or if it is anything out of the ordinary: (WW) intel(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum -- 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.
