Hi,
I have a similar problem.
This morning I updated my laptop (Dell Latitude D505) with last fc4 updates,
i.e. xorg-x11, qt-devel, dia.
After those (and after restarting X) X crashed (and the screen too).
Usually I boot into init 3 and then I "startx" X (with enlightenment as a
wm).
After those updates every time I try to start-X the screen crash; I press
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace but the screen is always corrupted (i.e. I don't see the
textual console) and the only way I can restore it is by typing reboot (or
poweroff) 8-|
My graphics chipset is the Intel i855GM.
The bad thing for me is that probably this week I have to give up to a Quake
match :((((
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks guys!!
Hey guys, I had it to, solved it (or more a temporary solution): I
went back to the original xorg files from the installdvd: I checked in
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages which xorg-packages I had and
copied the corresponding ones to a folder from the dvd and installed
them with rpm -Uvh --oldpackage *.rpm
X then happely works again!
Just remeber that the libvgawh.a thing exsists in that version of xorg!
And now I'm waiting for a new update of xorg!
Hope this helps,
Bart
Don't forget to file a bug report against the newer version. It concerns
me that the newer version would bomb out as badly as it has with some
users. I assumed the problems were corrected and the less buggy version
of X would be used and patched for the security update.
I have an Intel 815 which I can test out later with the new version of X.
