Working Xorg.0.log

Using kernel-2.6.27-0.166.rc0.git8.fc10.i686

lspci output

Tried new kernel 2.6.27-0.305.rc5.git6.fc10.i686 and it doesn't work either.
And on vbox it breaks X Windows to, but at least I can login.
It says Fatal server error: no screens found on vbox with 305 kernel.

vbox issue was caused by /etc/X11/xorg.conf being changed, put original back and it is fine.

Looking at change log on kernel-2.6.27-0.297.rc5.git2.fc10

maybe?:
* Thu Aug 28 2008 Dave Airlie <airlied>
- rebase modesetting patches - add DRI2 for intel patches from krh
- no intel modesetting yet didn't have time

* Wed Aug 27 2008 Dave Airlie <airlied>
- drm update - add opregion support - fix some bugs in radeon modesetting

kernel 2.6.27-0.322.rc6.fc10.i686 not working either.

kernel-2.6.27-0.329.rc6.git2.fc10.i686 doesn't work either.
I hope this gets fixed before the beta!

Loaded QA Test F10-Beta-i686-Live.iso on a USB and tried it on the same broken Compaq nx5000 laptop and it still doesn't work.

Tried it on another laptop Compaq nx6400 and it works:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 43/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

kernel-2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.i686

So it only looks like it causes problems with some Intel display adapters.
Someone else on #fedora-qa was having an issue, but not sure if the older kernel fixed it or not.

Yes, I've tried F10-Beta-x86_64-Live-Developer.iso on a system with Intel 965 chipset and X doesn't start at all but text mode works fine. It prints the same errors as above.
I've tried using kernel-2.6.27-0.166.rc0.git8.fc10.x86_64 and I was able to see some signs of plymouth but since I didn't create proper initrd for the live image it wasn't able to mount root partition. But at least I can see some signs of graphical mode in the system and I guess that with correct initrd I should be able to start X.

Since yesterday it was working fine on F10 Beta (Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express) but after the last update : xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.1-4.fc10.i386 I have also that black screen :-(

some more info, when I start Xorg from the command line :

I'm running 2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.i686 or 2.6.27-0.372.rc8.fc10.i686 but same problem.

I hate to be a "me too" person, but me too.  I get the same errors as #13 using the kernel ...-0.372. and 0.352.
I have also tried using the xorg.conf file from a RHEL5 partition on the same machine with no success.  That wanted to use the i810 driver, which didn't work because it wasn't for this chipset.  When I switched it to the intel driver, I got the same errors as before.
Any ideas?  Or anything you want tested and sent to help?

After the update of this morning, everything is working back :-)

new kernel is : 2.6.27-0.377.rc8.git1.fc10.i686

Good job !

2.6.27-0.377.rc8.git1.fc10.i686 doesn't work for me. :(

I tried updating the kernel, I was only able to get 2.6.27-0.382.rc2.git4.fc10.i686
This kernel begins to start X, and get's to where you see the hash screen right before you get graphics and then it completely locks up.  I tried it twice, with the same result, letting it sit for 30 minutes the second time.  I'm not sure what the error was.

I did find a work around so that I can use my machine though.
I got the xorg.conf file from the RHEL5 it's dual booted with.  I copied it over to /etc/X11/xorg.conf on my fedora.  I then edit it and change the driver from "i810" to "vesa" and now it is working.

But it would be nice if it worked with the real intel driver, or whichever driver it is supposed to have.

The problem persists for me with kernel-2.6.27-0.391.rc8.git7.fc10.i686, I am using kernel-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i586 as a workaround (it has it's limitations, I know).

kernel-2.6.27-0.392.rc8.git7.fc10.i686 is affected too.

The worst on this is that Fedora 10 Beta is not able to be installed, due to this kernel-side problem.

Sure it Fedora 10 Beta can be installed.  Just do it in text mode.
Put "text" at the end of the installer line.
But then you have to watch out for firstboot failling in text mode, which causes the whole thing to look like it's completely hung, when in reality, firstboot just died and there are no consoles to log into.  But that's a different bug.

Well kernel 2.6.27-0.398.rc9.fc10.i686 works for me! :)

Sorry, I've tried Fedora 10 Beta Desktop edition (32 bit), and it works fine on my system. I don't know what was the problem with my previous test, maybe that's a problem on x86_64 systems, or with the Developer live edition, or with my download. Hopefully I'll try the Desktop edition x86_64 soon.

Fedora 10 Snapshot (x86_64) works fine.

kernel-2.6.27.2-23.rc1.fc10.i686 still failing for me.

Is your problem fixed with the most recent kernel-2.6.27.3-34.rc1.fc10 now Michal?  You're using the same 855GM chip set as the rest of them so I'd think yours should be working now as well.

Christopher, thanks for asking, no, it's not.

In today's rawhide I found the new kernel + Intel's Xorg driver v2.5.0, the one released recently, with this combination it's a bit worse. Now the screen is not only still dark, line on pre -34 kernel, but when I press power button, it seems that the machine's shutting down, but then it stops and the Caps Lock light is blicking like on kernel panic. Warm power off is necessary.

xorg log is blank, nothing inside.

I've just installed F10Beta by yum update from Fedora8 and I have the same experience. 

My HW is IBM ThinkPad X40:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

version of rpm:
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-1.fc10.i386

When I boot to init 3 (text) then I run starx. I cannot see desktop but computer is working yet. When I "kill -9" pidof X than I get kernel panic.

*** Bug 467572 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

GUI Install and post-install startx both fail the same way for me on a Dell Inspiron 1150, 855GM video.  I am attaching lspci/lspci -v, Xorg.0.log.  No xorg.conf was generated by the install.

Both failures show what appear to be a few mode changes (screen and backlight seem to flicker a bit) then the screen either turns black and seems to freeze (can't reboot, switch VTs, etc) or sometimes with startx I'll get the checkerboard background but it immediately freezes after.

Tarball of lspci, lspci -v, and Xorg.0.log

Logs from Inspiron 1150 from Fedora 10 Pre-release (from 11/04/08).

Just to add to this, if I boot F10 Beta, fully updated from rawhide as of tonight I just get a few brief flashes of the screen, followed by kernel panic (caps lock light flashing).

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

IBM x61 here... pretty standard.

There's nothing worthwhile in the dmesg.old log and this is with no xorg.conf.

uname -a reports 2.6.27.4-68.fc10.i686.PAE

I *can* get a display if I write a basic xorg.conf and specify vesa as the driver.

This particular hardware worked just fine in F8/9, RHEL4/5 etc

This bug is for black-screen problems with i855GM. You've got a different problem.

So there's absolutely no chance that the same bug could be affecting two different gfx chipsets?

From a quick discussion with ajax, our fearless X maintainer:

"broadly speaking the intel graphics classes are (i810, i815), (i830, i845, i855, i865), (i915, i945), (965 and newer). i tend to assume bugs against one class are not bugs against another until proven otherwise."

You have different symptoms and different hardware. As far as I know it's not the same bug; it's a different codepath and a different fix will be required. 

So, please, file a different bug - or search bugzilla a bit. Chances are it's already been filed.

*** Bug 470541 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This may be resolved by making this driver not use GEM.  Work is underway to attempt that, please stay tuned for test packages.

okay I'm building a kernel in koji 2.6.27.5-105

I suspect it might help however 3D might not work, if the kernel boots and X starts, try adding Option "Legacy3d" "true" to the xorg.conf and see if DRI works.

Same here on Dell Optiplex GX260:

Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device
(rev 01)

kernel-2.6.27.5-101.fc10.i686
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-3.fc10.i386

I'll try -105 or newer kernel when its ready.

I just tried kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10.i686 with xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-3.fc10.i386 and it is working now. I can start and stop Xorg. 

There is another problem with fonts rendering still. I'll fill new bug report.

I just tried 2.6.27.5-109.fc10.i686 and it makes no difference, I still get a gdm screen with a blank grey login window.  Hitting "ctrl" all by itself causes a beep.  I can't change ttys with either Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F2 (the latter just causing a series of repeating beeps).

It is now working for me

I am also seeing the font problems, but yes, that is a separate ticket.
This is an Intel 82852/855GM rev 02

X started up and displayed something other than a black screen, so *this* problem is gone. You now have a different problem, unfortunately. Please file another bug, or see if you can find an open report to CC yourself on. I'll add a comment here if I find a report for that bug.

This one, however, is closed as of kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10. Reopen *only* if you have a system with an Intel i8xx graphics chip that only shows a black screen when you try to start X.
