You should be able to work around this problem by putting 'nomodeset' on the kernel commandline. Could you attach your Xorg.0.log from the failed startup and perhaps give some details about the type of machine? I have a similar problem with my Thinkpad T43 (Intel 915GM graphics). It looks like the modesetting driver is failing to find any modes for the laptop LCD, so it's attempting to use the TV output. Attaching Xorg.0.log; some interesting messages: (II) intel(0): EDID for output LVDS1 (II) intel(0): Not using mode "<FF><FF><FF><FF>l$<B7><C0>" (height too large for virtual size) ... (II) intel(0): No remaining probed modes for output LVDS1 meanwhile dmesg has: Feb 19 22:28:23 localhost kernel: [drm:intel_crtc_mode_set] *ERROR* Couldn't find PLL settings for mode!

Hi You're right. The "nomode" argument makes the loginscreen appear! The unit is a Toshiba Portégé R500-106 PPR50E-00L00NN5. Here is the output from "lspci -v" 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device 0022 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at ffc80000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] I/O ports at cff8 [size=8] Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at ffc40000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel modules: i915 Attaching the log you ask for.

This works for me with today's (20090224) rawhide. Hooray! Unfortunately X is unbearably slow with modeset on, but that's a different problem. Tom, can you update to today's rawhide (incl. kernel-2.6.29-0.145) and try again? For the record, bug 486682 is a very close match for the "X is really slow with modesetting" problem. Hi You are right. After the latest update, the issue is resolved. I can also agree that the GUI is quite sluggish now. Thanks Tom |
