Nothing shows up in your logs, etc. that stands out at me. You might want to also report this problem to xfree86 as I don't have access to this hardware to do manual debugging of the problem. The more people aware of the problem, the more likely it'll get fixed sooner. I have already reported it to XFree86 and several people on that committee but No Luck. I have even reported it to Dell telling them no more Dells for me unless they work with rh to fix the X problems on their hardware. I keep hoping. I located this on the XFree86 site and wanted to know if this patch has been incorporated in the upcoming rh 9.0? It appears to have relevance to the problem many of us have had for a long time. http://bugs.xfree86.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23 The requested URL /cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi was not found on this server. Ok, I just manually went to XFree86's bugzilla and pulled up 23. If you read through every comment in the bug report, Egbert indicates that this is not a bug, but a BIOS limitation, and if you read his patch, the patch only adds new log file messages to be output, and does not contain any functional driver change other than to have a more informative log file. So the real problem seems to be a BIOS limitation. I could theoretically add the patch, but that wont fix the problem for you, and since it's in CVS already, it'll be present in a future XFree86 release. Since as Egbert indicates, this is not a bug... Closing NOTABUG |
