<div dir="ltr">I am trying to set up a Shuttle SG33G5 using onboard video on Fedora Core 9. It uses the following Intel graphics processor: (lspci) Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (xorg log) (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) G33 1) I seem unable to make X start without a connection present (with the receiver powered off vs no cable plugged in appears to be functionally equivalent cases). In my nvidia system, I could force it with a ConnectedMonitor line in my xorg.conf. I seem to be able to get to a similar point but the resulting xorg.conf messages indicate no modes despite specifying them in the xorg.conf: (II) intel(0): Output TMDS-1 enabled by config file (WW) intel(0): Unable to find initial modes (EE) intel(0): Output TMDS-1 enabled but has no modes (EE) intel(0): No valid modes. ... (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Is there any way to force X to come up with a mode even if no connection is present with the intel drivers? 2) I am trying to connect it to an Onkyo 805 receiver via HDMI. The display passes through fine in the BIOS and Linux text mode. However, as soon as X takes control, the receiver reports no signal. If I move the HDMI plug directly to my TV at this point, I see the display. From the xorg.conf messages, everything appears to be functional. Has anybody made this connection work? As a point of reference, I have other HDMI inputs to the same receiver that work including an Nvidia graphics based Linux system so I think the receiver hardware and Linux-based computers in general are absolved. Thanks for any help, LT </div>
