please add Option "debug" "on" to the Device section for your card, and attach the X log that generates after you've logged out. Created attachment 3847 [details]
xorg log with debug on
here is the requested xorg log with option "debug" "on"
sorry, this is icky, but it's not severe enough to block 7.0. I have a problem of the screen text being garbage after I logout. A quick setfont fixes the issue, but I humbly request a proper fix. This has happened since Redhat 9 days and still happens using xorg-x11-drv-i128-1.1.0.4-1 on xorg 7. I am using rawhide from fedora core. Thanks, Jason I've had the same problem for the longest time but was able to fix it with the
following fix/workaround:
1. Make sure vesafb is compiled into the kernel (or available as a module).
2. Add vga=792 and append="video=vesafb:pmipal,mtrr" to your lilo.conf (or
equivalent) right below the "image=/vmlinuz" line as shown below and rerun lilo:
image=/vmlinuz
vga=792
append="video=vesafb:pmipal,mtrr"
I found the "vga=792" through experimentation, it puts the 1600SW into 1600x1024
graphics mode immediately prior to bootup and uses the kernel's bitmap graphics
instead of the built-in VGA card fonts. This eliminates the font corruption and
also provides much nicer fonts for the console mode. It also makes switching
from X to console mode and back faster because the monitor stays in the same
1600x1024 mode all the time.
Thank you for the update. I run my monitor at 800x512 so vga=792 will not work from me. I have not found a vga= line for 800x512. I open a bugzilla here some time ago requesting it be added, but it was closed saying they are working on the vga subsystem. I might ended biting the bullet and switching to 1600x1024, but I need a larger font (especially during boot). Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future. Is this still an issue? I upgraded my system about 2 years ago so I don't have that equipment anymore. Closing as wontfix. |
