YNT: no screens found problem

[Gökçe ÖZDEMİR]

Hi Dan,

When I checked the log the following info message seems the reason of our problem
...
(II) Primary Device is: ISA
...

We have a PCI machine but I don't know why this xorg detect it as ISA.
When i try lspci it list all PCI devices including our graphic card, so i think our kernel configuration is OK, am i right?
I tried giving Busid parameter to xorg.conf but it didn't help too.
Do you have any idea why we get it as ISA??

I am sending the dmesg log in the attachment incase u may get a clue.

Regards,
Gökçe

The intel q35 is much too new to work on xorg 6.8.2. Probably your
best bet is to get the vesa driver working. Read the output of the log
file to ensure that the Device section referencing Driver "vesa" is
being used. You can also try running the server with -logverbose n
where n is greater than 3 to get some more information.

Updating to a newer Xorg might be a challenge, but newer releases of
the intel driver do support that graphics hardware.
