[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 257711] Re: Fujistu Stylistic 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.6 broken

[dark2star]

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

Unfortunately, it didn't help. The system boots fine until starting X.
After a long while the screen fills with garbage and grows brighter.
More garbage...

As far as I understand it from the comments, the driver isn't able to
initialize the I2C communication with the monitor. At least the vesa
driver cannot find a suitable screen mode and thus exits. The intel
driver just aborts early.

Testing the device with a different operating system (Windows, Knoppix)
indicates that the hardware is in working order. An older Ubuntu version
(7.10) installs and works.

Would it be possible to check the parts of the code concerning i2c
inside the intel driver?

Thanks!

Hi,
my laptop is a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S6010 (7 years old, Intel I830 
graphics). I have the same error:
The Xserver dies with
(EE) intel(0): sil164 not detected got 5: from DVOC2C_E Slave 112
(EE) intel(0): tfp410 not detected got VID 1305: from DVOI2C_E Slave 112
(EE) intel(0): No valid modes and
(EE) Screeen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

Now, this error appeared when I upgraded from hardy to intrepid and
remains after the upgrade to jaunty.

My first thought was a hardware error, so I tried BartPE (CD-bootable
Windows), I also tried Knoppix (sorry, don't know which version, used a
friend's CD). Both work fine.

Now I've been trying lots of different modifications to xorg.conf for
almost every evening a whole week. I used both VESA and INTEL drivers,
tried different bit depths, tried different driver options, etc. The
only thing I didn't try yet is using a completed xorg.conf, with the
screen section. As it seems to me, support for the old intel graphics
chips (i810,i815,i830) is not good anymore - is there at least enough of
the driver left to run X at the monitor's resolution for 2D
applications?

Please, I'm desparately looking for a description, how to keep the old
laptop running.

Thanks...
