X.org fails to start with Intel G45 card
Last modified: 2009-04-26 16:34:44 UTC
After latest Factory update, X.org stopped working with an Intel G45 video card. I'm unsure if it's due to the Kernel update (from 2.6.27 to 2.6.29) or X.org. I'll attach the relevant log files.

Downgrading the packages from X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Factory/ to X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/ makes it work again.
Created attachment 276065 [details] Xorg startup logs (working) You'll notice that I also updated the kernel, but that doesn't made any difference. What fixed the problem was the Xorg packages downgrade.
X11:XOrg is not an official repo for updating your X.Org packages. It's just a playground for testing the next X.Org release. INVALID.
Stefan, I'm sorry that comment #2 made you think that I was using X11:XOrg packages. The original description says the problem happens on Factory, and this is still the case. I updated to X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Factory/ to see if the problem was already fixed there, but no luck. Then, I downgraded to X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/ and confirmed it worked there. I was trying to provide good and bad packages to ease the bisecting work.

> Packages from X11:XOrg are currently checked in into Factory. Yes, and show the same problem (logs in comment #1) with my G45 card.
Problem still present after Factory update today. I found that it just happens when I'm using a DVI monitor, with standard VGA it works fine.

If this is really true this patch must be the culprit: - xf86-video-intel-sdvo_detect.diff I currently only apply this patch for factory and not for 11.1. Can you confirm this by testing xorg-x11-driver-video package from - X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Factory/ - X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/
Created attachment 278043 [details] Xorg startup logs Stefan, I think you are right about the culprit. Here are the tests results: Current Factory [xorg-x11-driver-video-7.4-45.1]: NOT OK X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1 [xorg-x11-driver-video-7.4-66.2]: OK X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Factory [xorg-x11-driver-video-7.4-66.1]: NOT OK Logs from each attempt are attached.
Thanks I'll remove xf86-video-intel-sdvo_detect.diff again.

Thanks!
Has this been merged to factory at this point? I am encountering a similar issue with an intel 855gm laptop. If it has already been merged, I'll open a new bug.
Yes, xf86-video-intel-sdvo_detect.diff is no longer applied. Neither for 11.1 nor for Factory.
