Harris <mharris redhat com> 6.8.2-1.FC3.8test > - Rebuild 6.8.2-8 as 6.8.2-1.FC3.8test for Fedora Core 3 testing release I track Rawhide on my Toshiba Tecra 8200 laptop. It has a Trident CyberBladeXP video card. When I finished syncing to Rawhide yesterday, which included upgrading X to the above quoted packages, my X display quit working. Instead of normal operation, I get a completely white screen. For the first few seconds of X starting up, I can see the "x"-shaped mouse cursor, but then that disappears into the whiteness, too. If I switch out of X and to a virtual terminal, or if I kill X and get thrown back to a virtual terminal, the video card stays garbled and I can't use the terminals. Most of the time the terminals are black with white vertical strips every character column, but a few times it turned the terminal background orange and the characters yellow. I tried rebuilding the SRPM for X.Org in FC3 Updates, so I could downgrade and get a working X again, but the compile didn't seem to want to succeed with GCC 4.0. (I haven't yet tried installing the binary RPMs from FC3 Updates, I suppose they'll install if I have the proper compat packages installed.) Anyways, I just thought I'd report that X.Org 6.8.2 doesn't play well with Trident CyberBladeXPs. Other than that, thanks much for the high-quality, bleeding-edge, surprisingly-stable Rawhide fun! Peace out, Derek
