I fixed it. I changed the profile to automatically create a temp config and start the X-Server with -probeonly. After this the profile will check the newly written log file because it doesn't make sense to check the framebuffer log file at that point |
i installed alpha3+ on a i915 notebook (sony vgn-fs115b). At the end of the installation, at the "Hardware Configuration" screen, i configured my monitor (1280x800), left the other settings as default (with "External Display: active" iirc) There was no external display attached. After hitting the "test" button, the display went black and never came back. Marcus' investigation showed, that the sax profile tried to extract the display information from the Xserver logfile, but from the logfile of the running X server which was using the framebuffer device. This lead to a wrong MonitorLayout option ("CRT,DFP"), which in turn lead to the malfunction of the X server. After manually reconfiguring the MonitorLayout, we were able to start an X server and with the log from the i915 server, sax was able to detect the correct monitorlayout.
