Re: Fedora 6 on Acer Aspire 1694WLMi

[Martina Egger]

Hi,
thank you all for your help. I downloaded the latest respin FC6 from the
Fedora Unity, and installed in text-mode. Installation worked well. But
after the restart, it is not possible to go into the system in graphic mode.
When I try to start X11, I get a black screen ...... Does anyone of you has
an idea, if I should change some settings in the xorg.conf, or if I could do
something else?
Thanks, Martina

Hi,
since one year I´ve got an Acer Laptop with the following configuration:

Acer Aspire 1694WLMi
Intel Pentium M processor 760 (2GHz, 533MHz, 2MB L2 cache)
15,4´´ WSXGA+ TFT LCD
ATI Mobility Radeon X700 PCI Express With 256MB VRAM
120GB HDD
Slot-loading DVD-Dual
2GB DDR2
802.11b/g wireless LAN

Till half a year ago I tried and tried to install Fedora 5. But no chance!
It didn´t work. Problems with the PCMCIA. Then I installed Suse10 with help
of an extern screen.
But now, I want to try to install Fedora 6. Does anyone of you know, if
there´s a chance, that it will work on my laptop?

Thanks for helping me! Martina

There is nothing so special according to this list and information on
the Internet, so it should work. But why don't you try to install it and
report any problems you encounter?

Could you post us output of the command lspci, please?

Thanks,

My laptop is an Aspire 3004WlMi, and it works perfectly, so I imagine a
lower
versioned member of the same line would also work fine.

IIRC the stock FC5 hanged at "starting udev" because of a problem in
the pcmcia subsystem, but that was promptly fixed. I can not remember
if the problem/patch was properly broadcasted though...

I think so. But I suggest you download and install the latest respin from

http://torrent.fedoraunity.org/

as it contains significative bug fixes WRT the official FC6 release
(and you will need to download less updates after the installation...)

Hi,

is this clean install (i.e., there was no Linux before on that disk), or
upgrade? If the later, could you try to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to
something else, and restart? Xorg should automagically detect everything
necessary. If not, then please file a bug to http://bugzilla.redhat.com,
product Fedora Core, component xorg-x11, and attach to the bug
uncompressed original /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then /var/log/Xorg.*.log
before and after the experiment.

Thanks a lot,

Matěj Cepl
