This machine doesn't have an intel chip, it's got a MGA G200E IIUC, c.f. http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/102b/0522 (that matches the PCI info from X log you posted). I am not an expert but looking at this patch http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xorg-x11-drv-mga.git/tree/mga-1.6.2-fix-kms-matching.patch?h=f20 it looks like the mgag200 kernel module is automatically used on your machine, check the output of 'lsmod'; and from the log indeed the modesetting X11 driver is auto-configured. I wonder if disabling KMS (booting with nomodeset or modeset=0 on the kernel cmdline) would give better results (i.e. the system will use the mga driver); you could try that, see what happens. > > 50-screen.conf > > > > Section "Screen" > > Identifier "Default Screen" > > DefaultDepth 24 > > SubSection "Display" > > Depth 24 > > Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "640x480" > > EndSubSection > > EndSection > > But, without any effect? > > What's so frustrating is that this used to work... > > Thanks, > M. > -- > Morgan Read > NEW ZEALAND > <mailto:mstuffATreadDOTorgDOTnz> > > Confused about DRM? > Get all the info you need at: > http://drm.info/ > > -- > users mailing list > users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > Have a question?
