rhgb? problem


I recently did a yum update FC3 -> FC4 on an older machine. It seemed to go well, but on
boot the mouse, keyboard, monitor go dead following "starting HAL". The boot completed;
I can ssh to the machine. I removed "rhgb quiet" from grub.conf, and then have text login
from the console. Then startx work fine. I can live this way, but would perfer to have
graphic login and automatic starting of X Windows.

When I run rhgb some interesting lines from /var/log/Xorg.log are:
(--) TSENG(0): VideoRAM: 0 kByte.
(==) TSENG(0): Min pixel clock is 12 MHz
(--) TSENG(0): Max pixel clock is 112 MHz
(--) TSENG(0): MCLK used is 90 MHz
(II) TSENG(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 31.50-64.00 kHz
(II) TSENG(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh range of 50.00-120.00 Hz
(II) TSENG(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 112.50 MHz
(II) TSENG(0): Not using default mode "640x350" (insufficient memory for mode)
(II) TSENG(0): Not using default mode "320x175" (insufficient memory for mode)
(II) TSENG(0): Not using default mode "640x400"
...
(II) TSENG(0): Not using default mode "1280x800" (insufficient memory for mode)
(WW) TSENG(0): Mode pool is empty
(EE) TSENG(0): No valid modes found
(II) UnloadModule: "tseng"
(II) UnloadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Notice that very first line; it seems to report the problem. Running startx VideoRAM
is reported to be 2K. Anyone seen this? Have a cure?

What is your motherboard? VGA onboard? rhgb does not see your vga memory. It shouldn't be a few kb. You might have found a bug. Try the fedora.redhat.com forums. Also you might consider downgrading a bit rhgb only. This rhgb thing reminds me a lot of the way the M$ windows software is patchily designed according to market mood.

If you don't want to have to run startx all the time, edit /etc/sysconfig/init and set GRAPHICAL=no.
