Hello,<br>trying to configure F13 x86 on an old laptop for a friend of mine, tired of WIndows viruses and problems; the pc is a Dell Latitude D505<br>ALso basically works apart from video and video contnts in browser...<br>
<br>lspci says<br>00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)<br><br>default config (no xorg.conf) works well in general, but unable to handle videos (with both mplayer and totem); also in flash.<br>
<br>for example starting mplayer I get its window witg blue backgroubd and X Windows System freezes<br>I can switch to a terminal and see this in messages:<br>Jul 14 22:06:18 popi kernel: [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung<br>
Jul 14 22:06:18 popi kernel: render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000<br>Jul 14 22:06:18 popi kernel: [drm:i915_do_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_do_wait_request returns -5 (awai<br>ting 142311 at 142310)<br><br>Trying init 3 - init 5 I get black screen with an arrow in the middle (that I can move around with mouse... ) and I have to restart to be able to use graphical env again.<br>
<br>In messages I have also, when system starts:<br>Jul 14 21:28:01 popi kernel: [Firmware Bug]: Duplicate ACPI video bus devices for the same VGA controller, please try module parameter "video.allow_duplicates=1"if the current driver doesn't work.<br>
(not tried yet the suggestion...)<br><br>Strange thing in /var/log I have many xorg.N.log files.....<br>[root@ log]# ll Xorg.*<br>-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58304 14 lug 21:52 Xorg.0.log<br>-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8515 14 lug 21:25 Xorg.0.log.old<br>
