Hi,

I've been having a consistent failure of startx apparently due to the addition of "nomodeset" to the kernel boot parameters. I have been using "nomodeset" for several years. This has been happening for about 2 weeks. See startx log below.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

we drop int10 everywhere and obsolete vesa and fbdev X drivers [1]

if is related please try 21.1.13-3 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2556149

also need to check if you got vesa and fbdev installed

What xorg driver is expected to be used now with nomodeset, if not vesa or fbdev?
