O.k. So that definitely confirms a problem with the 'X' server<br>
configuration or the drivers available for your video chipset. (Which<br>
is not my area of expertise.)<br>

That may show something useful . . . perhaps others would care to comment?<br>
<br>
What it does do is to give you a template for an xorg.conf file that<br>
you could hand-craft and drop into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/<br>
directory.<br>

Copy / paste the above section into a file and the strip off the "> [<br>
44.640] " or "> [ 44.641] " (as appropriate) that is at<br>
the beginning of each line. That will then be your basic template<br>
xorg.conf file. (Keep a pristine copy safe, somewhere else.) Hopefully<br>
other subscribers to this list will be able to suggest lines to add to<br>
or remove from your working copy. (/etc/X11/xord.conf.d/xorg.conf) It<br>
should be possible to get that basic display to work in graphical mode<br>
by that method. (I'm not the person able to assist you,<br>
unfortunately.)<br>
<br>

<br>
As for opening an RFE (request for enhancement), just go to the ELRepo<br>
bug tracker [1], open a ticket against the existing xorg-x11-drv-intel<br>
package and ask for it to be updated to the latest version. Etc. :)<br>
<br>
There's no magic involved. By making the request that way, you will<br>
ensure that it is seen by all the Admin staff and the current package<br>
maintainer.<br>

Hello Earl,<br>
<br>
It sounds like you have a PowerVR GMA3650 GPU from Imagination<br>
Technolgies. I have had many problems with this GPU in distribution<br>
kernels and had to upgrade (using EL Repo made it easy).<br>
<br>
Try appending video=LVDS-1:d to the kernel line in your grub.conf file.<br>
<br>
After that you should get a graphic boot screen and use the fbdev or vesa<br>
driver. I had no luck with the Intel driver and this GPU.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Antonio<br>

When I append the code to the end of the kernel I get a blank screen immediately after I leave grub.<br>
