Problem with video

[harishbayyavarapu]

Hi everyone,

I had fedora 12 and I updated to fedora 13 three days back. I was trying to watch videos on Hulu and when I switch to full screen mode, the video is stuck and I can hear the audio running, its only the video which is stuck at that place. When i switch back to the normal mode the video is as usual.

Thanks

You probably need to update your video driver as well. What video chip set / board are you using?

I have an intel onboard graphics card

How to update my drivers ?

[harishbayyavarapu]

I created xorg.conf.new file using the command
X -configure :1 and made some changes since the video froze. Can someone help me out how to resolve the issue please

I am waiting for help from experts. Is there a way so that I will be able to watch the flash played videos in full screen.

Help would be appreciated

[Rubberman]

Have you tryed "yum update"?

[harishbayyavarapu]

I did update my system and I don't have anything to update.
I think some should help me in editing the xorg.conf file which is important for the graphics for a linux system

[devils casper]

Backup existing xorg.conf file.

su -
cd /etc/X11
mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_bak

Create new file and copy following code :

Section "Device"
       Identifier "Configured Video Device"
       Driver    "i810"  
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier "Configured Monitor"
         HorizSync 31.5 - 70.0
         VertRefresh 50 - 160
 EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Monitor "Configured Monitor"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth 24
        Subsection "Display"
             Depth 24
             Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" 
        EndSubsection
EndSection

Hi,

I tried as you said and it wasn't booting up at all. It was stuck at the fedora symbol for hours and then restored the xorg.conf file back to original.

[devils casper]

If i810 driver is not working, try "vesa" driver.

Section "Device"
       Identifier "Configured Video Device"
       Driver    "vesa"  
EndSection

'vesa' driver is generic and works fine with most of Graphics Cards.
