After the many comments and suggestions following my post last week I
tried F11A on my Intel D845GERG2-based system.
Anaconda didn't work with the default driver (same bug as #470371 in
F10) but worked fine with the Basic Video Driver option.
First boot, black screen but setting Option "NoAccel" "true" fixed that
(using the VESA driver).
So I could get into X, set up my Wi-Fi card and download the updates.
Now it doesn't work again!
Advice and assistance gratefully received,
The xorg-x11-drv-nouveau should be irrelevant if you're using intel
graphics.
Also, you should use xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.6.0-14.fc11.i586.rpm for
the latest; Yum/rawhide changed me from -i810 to -intel at some point.
I have a intel 845G/GL[Brookdale-G] 8086:2562 rev3 on a Dell laptop.
From yesterday's testing:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/2009-03-12
.. it appears the KMS (on by default) doesn't set up the 845G correctly.
Boot with "nomodeset" on the kernel boot line.
If the screen goes black, toggle around the VT's (clt-alt-Fn) to restore
it.
With nomodeset, the text VT backlights always work. There seems to be a
race condition in re-enabling the screen backlight with the intel Xserver.
Bob: Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I can't get this to work for
me. I did:
rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-drv-i810
then
rpm -i xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.6.0-14-fc11.i586
And I've tried all the tests I think could possibly work:
1. Driver "intel": Screen flashes blank, then back text mode a few times
before staying black, cursor in top left, system locked up.
2. Driver "intel"+nomodeset: X attempts to load, see mouse cursor
briefly, then blank, system locked up
3. Driver "intel"+NoAccel: Screen flashes blank, then back text mode a
few times before staying black, system locked up
4. Driver "intel"+NoAccel+nomodeset: X attempts to load, see mouse
cursor briefly, then blank, system locked up, no VTs
5. Driver "intel"+XXA: Screen flashes blank, then back text mode a few
times before staying black, cursor in top left, system locked up
6. Driver "intel"+XXA+nomodeset: X attempts to load, see mouse cursor
briefly, then blank, system locked up, no VTs
7. Driver "vesa"+NoAccel+nomodeset: X attempts to load, see mouse cursor
briefly, then blank, system locked up
8. Driver "vesa"+NoAccel: X attempts to load, see mouse cursor briefly,
then blank, system locked up
9. Driver "vesa"+XXA: X attempts to load, see mouse cursor briefly, then
blank, system locked up
10. Driver "vesa"+XXA+nomodeset: X attempts to load, see mouse cursor
briefly, then blank, system locked up
11. Driver "vesa": X attempts to load, see mouse cursor briefly, then
blank, system locked up
12. Driver "vesa"+nomodeset: X attempts to load, see mouse cursor
briefly, then blank, system locked up
Some of these combinations may not make sense, but I've tried to be
thorough...
