| |
Hi there. Having been running the 2.4.0-test kernels on my laptop, I quickly upgraded to 2.4.0 when it came out. A problem quickly arose:
X won't start.
Under 2.4.0-test12 it works fine.
Under 2.4.0 it exits after trying to load the int10 module...
from 2.4.0-test12 (and all others):
(II) Loading sub module "int10" (II) LoadModule: "int10" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a (II) Module int10: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.0.1a, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.2 (II) ATI(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000 (II) Loading sub module "ddc" (II) LoadModule: "ddc" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a (II) Module ddc: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.0.1a, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.2 (II) Loading sub module "vbe" (II) LoadModule: "vbe" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvbe.a (II) Module vbe: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.0.1a, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.2 (II) ATI(0): VESA Bios detected (II) ATI(0): VESA VBE Version 2.0 (II) ATI(0): VESA VBE Total Mem: 8128 kB (II) ATI(0): VESA VBE OEM: ATI MACH64 (II) ATI(0): VESA VBE OEM Software Rev: 1.0 (II) ATI(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.

under 2.4.0 (final):

(II) UnloadModule: "ati" (II) UnloadModule: "int10" (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error: no screens found
Things I have ruled out:
- Compiled with redhat 7's gcc 2.96 snapshot, and also with kgcc. No diffrence.
- did a cat /proc/pci, lspci, and cat /proc/inturrupts and compaired 2.4.0 and 2.4.0-test12 and they were identical.
- Without changing anything besides the kernel X works. If I am in 2.4.0-test12 it's fine, if I am in 2.4.0 (final) it fails.
Further debugging, requests for logs, patches, or ideas are welcome.
This laptop is a dell inspiron 5000 (not 5000e). It has worked just fine with X until now. It's a redhat 7 + all errata. It has XFree86-4.0.1a on it.
thanks for any suggestions.
