Re: [Xen-devel] pvops Dom0 graphics doesnt work with Intel i915

[sanjay kushwaha <sanjay.kushwaha@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I dont use nomodeset option, dom0 boots fine X runs properly. So Fedora 13 (X86_64) distro with stable-2.6.32.x pvops kernel and xen-unstable works fine for i915 without nomodeset option.

Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi Jeremy,
I switched to stable-2.6.32.x branch (which is 2.6.32.21 based) but I get the same problem. Attached is the Xorg.0.log file when I booted with nomodeset option.

interestingly I did not see any kernel or driver crash messages in the dmesg output. I do see these messages multiple times in /var/log/messages

Thanks,
Sanjay

Don't use that branch; it isn't supported (in fact, I deleted it a while
ago).  Use xen/stable-2.6.32.x for now.
