This is a vanilla "Workstation" install on a Sony VAIO which has been working well up till this round of Fedora Core development updates. X fails to start on powering up the computer
Could you provide the server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log), the config file and the version of the Xorg server and the version of the RPM package? Thanks.

Posting on the test list for Fedora dwvelopment, I discovered that my problem with X and Mike's problem are both related to the 815 cards. I filed bug 1086 and provided logs for my problem in attached files. I tested another machine that has an 828 656 graphics controller and also uses the i810 driver. The changes between the prior versions and the CVS head were significant enough to reduce random crashes with xscreensavers. I was surprised that both graphics controllers used the same driver. The 815 chip based card worked great on prior versions of X. I seem to recall that there was a seperate driver for the i815 card. If there never was a seperate driver for the card, there should be seperate drivers for the 815 and for other similar (but quite different) graphics controller. lspci displays that I have the card type below. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 02) I hope something is useful in either report to resolve the issue. server log files are in the other bug report. My motherboard is a Supermicro Super 370SSM w/ an Intel 815 Solano chipset.

See "additional Comment #3". I've attached the log files linked to in the initial report. The rpm package is: rpm 4.3.2-06.i386 Let me know if I can help further. Regards, Mike Klinke P.S. Oh, have you checked your clock lately? Something seems amiss....
Created attachment 684 [details] New Log Files after latest xorg-x11 update The problem still persists after updating to the latest Fedora Core development revisions (xorg-x11*6.7.99-902) while reverting back to xorg-x11*-6.7.0-7.2 allows X to start.
*** Bug 1086 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
AlanH's changes for the dualhead i830 support breaks the i810 driver.. for a start it now requires that the pI810->LpRing is xalloc'ed but this doesn't happen on the i810 driver, only in the i830_driver.c, I think also some of the cursor mem stuff probably also needs to be changed for the i810/5... I've cc'ed Alan I'm not sure if it is his work or Keiths.. Alan can you fixup the i810/5 (do you have the hardware?) I've got some here but I'm not that great with the 2D drivers yet...
I'm going to attach my prelim patch it fixes the crash and X starts, it also fixes a warning for drmCommandNone...

Created attachment 709 [details] [review] first patch isn't correct - this one is better..
Looks good. Sorry for the mixup on this.
Thanks for the patch Dave, and thanks for reviewing it Alan. It has been checked in. Closing.
Created attachment 818 [details] Now seems patch works -glxinfo Other than a noticed wavering of the screen on the left and right edges, the problem with stability seems to be be corrected. The framerate also seems much improved.
