Description Anatoli Antonovitch 2006-06-29 10:08:47 UTC 
X does not work on Dell 8G systems with DRAC4 with FC5 as well as latest FC
which is FC6 Test1. Install only works in text mode and screen goes black during
the initialization of graphic mode as well as post-OS install at execution of
startx.

This patch resolves the problem.

Problem cause:	Register CRTC_EXT_CNTL does NOT have the correct value when
running with DRAC4. Bit CRTC_CRT_ON set to 0 (CRT OFF).

Change Priority and Severity fields.

Any progress for this?
How do we get the community engaged to accept this patch?
Comment 3 Alan Coopersmith 2006-07-11 09:21:15 UTC 
Reopening, since marking resolved won't help you get your patch in - it makes it
look like the patch is not needed.

Well I don't really mind accepting it, seeing how in 6.6.1 it applies to code
that's behind a #if 0.  But that might not be what you intended.
Comment 5 Dave Airlie 2006-07-11 12:59:14 UTC 
as far as I can see this should be fixed, by the community - granted I'm not
sure it won't break again as a new output remapping scheme is being looked into.

please reopen if it doesn't actually work on that hardware of course.
