DetailsDescription:
I've just done an upgrade and now X won't start. The error from the xorg log file is at the bottom Additional info: intel-dri 7.4.4-1 videoproto 2.2.2-2 xf86-video-intel 2.7.1-1 xorg-apps 7.4-2 xorg-font-utils 7.4-2 xorg-fonts-100dpi 1.0.1-2 xorg-fonts-75dpi 1.0.1-2 xorg-fonts-alias 1.0.1-2 xorg-fonts-encodings 1.0.2-3 xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.0-4 xorg-res-utils 1.0.3-3 xorg-server 1.6.1.901-3 xorg-server-utils 7.4-6 xorg-twm 1.0.4-3 xorg-utils 7.4-4 xorg-xauth 1.0.3-1 xorg-xinit 1.1.1-1 xorg-xkb-utils 7.4-2 xorg-xsm 1.0.1-2 This happened last time I did an upgrade so I rolled back any package associated with X or Intel and that fixed it. Steps to reproduce: Just starting x.

This system does not work with UXA and it seems EXA isn't working anymore/has been removed already.

Do you have a fix/work around?

Fatal server error:

I assume for the long term we just keep an eye on the xf86-video-intel package in the normal repository and when that hits 2.7.99.901-1 we can go back to it. Is that correct?
(if noone replies in the following days, I suggest closing this as Fixed)
(EE) intel(0): Output LVDS enabled but has no modes
(EE) intel(0): No valid modes.
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
I am using:
extra/xorg-server 1.6.3-3
extra/xf86-video-intel 2.7.99.902-1
I am not using stock kernel but linus' git kernel 2.6.31-rc6-00099-gdf4ecf1
Now I am using 2.6.31-rc9 (vanilla) and xf86-video-intel-2.8.1-1 and the bug is gone.
Can be closed.
