Description Samareanu Florin 2006-10-09 07:58:59 UTC
Hello,

I have a Dell D505 laptop with an intel 855GM video card. The operating system
details are as follows:

xorg-x11-7.1.0-6mdv2007.0
Linux florinsam.vectorsoftware.ro 2.6.17-5mdv #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 14:32:31 EDT
2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz GNU/Linux

The problem follows:

No matter what i write in xorg.conf (aka Option "SwCursor" "false"/Option
"HWCursor" "true"/replace true/false with yes/no , i`ve tried everything) in
Xorg.0.log i have:
 (**) I810(0): Option "SWcursor"
I will upload the Xorg log and the xorg.conf. it is now at a minimal
configuration allowing the X to start.

The Xorg log file
Comment 3 Samareanu Florin 2006-10-09 08:02:28 UTC
Aditional comments: In order to achieve the native display resolution i used the
915 resolution with the following arguments (taken from the
/etc/sysconfig/915resolution):

YRESO=1050
XRESO=1400
MODE=best


Also, uploading the dmesg file

Dmesg
Comment 5 Samareanu Florin 2006-10-09 08:05:37 UTC
The most annoying part is that i have no DRI support because of that. Error
message follows (see Xorg.0.log):

(**) I810(0): DRI is disabled because it needs HW cursor and 2D acceleration.

> (**) I810(0): Option "SWcursor"

The '(**)' indicates this is due to the config file. From the log file:

> (==) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf"
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is that the config file you're modifying?
Comment 7 Samareanu Florin 2006-10-09 08:24:54 UTC
well it seems it was my mistake. i removed the /root/xorg.conf and restarted the
X server with the config file attached. everything stopped working with that
configuration (all i can see is a blue screen without a mouse). ps fax-ing my
system shows applications starting. i`m uploading the new log file and the old
xorg config that works.

The non-working xorg log file
Comment 10 Alan Hourihane 2006-10-09 08:30:04 UTC
It's because it's using the xorg.conf file from your /root/xorg.conf
configurationw which has SWcursor & NoAccel as options.

Closing as NOT A BUG.
Comment 11 Samareanu Florin 2006-10-09 08:36:19 UTC
commenting the SWCursor & the NoAccel lines makes the desktop act funny. i have
no mouse, the display is moved horizontally with 1/2 (hard to describe, it`s
like someone pushed the image from the left corner to the right one, and i have
the left side of the picture to my right and my right to the left) and in the
upper side of the display there is a garbage stripe.
Comment 12 Alan Hourihane 2006-10-09 09:20:55 UTC
remove the monitorlayout keyword.
Comment 13 Samareanu Florin 2006-10-11 06:08:16 UTC
that does not help. with or without that option it`s the same view.

i also tried something else: i tried the following Opensuse 10.1 xorg.conf that
works on this laptop in the Mandriva environment and i could only see some a
blue screen and kde loading (judging from the disk activity).

i`ll upload the suse xorg.conf.
