In this case, I cannot ever get X to start, and there are errors that appear in the Xorg.0.log and in dmesg. With 2.4.2-1, X usually worked, but I haven't been able to get it to start with 2.4.2-2 and later. In contrast, bug 461171 is an occasional problem (20% of the time) that I noticed with 2.4.2-1, and it doesn't put any errors in the log.

Installing F10-Snap1-i686 on Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE broke X unless option "NoAccel" was added to some xorg.conf file created after completion of the install procedure, and the bug still affects current "rawhide". It does not seem to be a matter of kernel mode setting anyway which appears to be currently disabled for Intel graphics.

Yes, that looks just like bug 471537. Follow up there for the graphical corruption problems. Seems like X is starting up successfully now, and there's no mention of the original error message. Closing this bug. Reopen *only* if X fails to start and the message "Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer" appears in Xorg.0.log.

All I can do is hit the power button to cleanly reboot [i.e. the ACPI event seems to be handled properly].)
