Hello all-- I have a Dell Inspiron 300m laptop that has an Intel 855GM video chipset (Centrino). When I close and re-open the lid or switch on the external VGA port in X (not on the console), a bar of corruption appears at the top of the screen. This only happens in the X.org server included with Fedora Core 2 or updated versions of the XFree86 server in Core 1 (at least 4.3.0-55, could be earlier). It does *not* happen with the X server included in the FC1 distribution (version 4.3.0-42). After updating the X server in Fedora Core 1 to 4.3.0-55, I can immediately fix the problem by dropping in the i810_drv.o file from 4.3.0-42 into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers. I also backed up i810_dri.so and i830_dri.so, but they are exactly the same size in both versions (i810_drv.o changed sizes) so I doubt there's a problem there. What has changed since XFree86 4.3.0-42 that could be causing my problem? Is there something I can do myself to fix this? Perhaps I should file a bug? Regards, Andrew Barr barr.156@xxxxxxx
