Debian Hardware :: Installing Newer Kernel For AR9485 Driver Breaks Display

Apr 8, 2014

I'm trying to install Atheros AR9485 wireless card driver on debian, and I had no luck.

I followed this [URL] .... to install backports kernel version. The wireless card worked, however, intel display driver displayed the color in the wrong way.

Red pixels are green, and green are yellow. It was displayed like when someone try to connect a PAL system to a TV that supports only NTSC.

This is my lspci output:

Code: Select all00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller (rev 09)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 0a0c (rev 09)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP USB xHCI HC (rev 04)
00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point-LP HECI #0 (rev 04)

[Code] ....

Is there is a way to compile only AR9485 module from the kernel?

Add the following

Code: Select alli915.i915_enable_fbc=0 to your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub so you would have something like that

Code: Select allGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" i915.i915_enable_fbc=0 nomodeset quiet splash"

Fedora :: Kernel 2.6.33.8 Breaks Display

Aug 25, 2010

I have Lenovo T410 with NVIDIA NVS 3100m running nouveau driver/F13. When I updated to the latest kernel, the display goes blank when booting and remains blank. I can ssh to the machine, so - it appears to be an X/display issue. All else seems to be working normally, and I didn't spot anything of interest in the logs - but perhaps I don't know what to look for.

Also, it appears to be an issue in the kernel package rather than in the nouveau driver package. I can still boot the former kernel successfully - even with the new driver files.

The previous kernel version was the version of the kernel that is provided with the initial F13 install.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Kernel Upgrade Breaks Nvidia Driver?

Jul 19, 2011

I've just installed Lucid Lynx on both my machines in the interest of sitting and waiting for the Unity/Gnome 3 storm to blow over. On the HP (see below), everything works great, and I've followed instructions online on how to upgrade to LibreOffice, upgrade the kernel to 2.6.38 using the kernel PPA, etc.

However, on the IBM, I'm using Nvidia proprietary graphics drivers. These work well on the stock kernel that 10.04 installed (2.6.32-32), but installing 2.6.38 seems to break the driver. If I install the driver first, and then the kernel on top, X stops working and I have to revert to the default, generic driver to get back in. Once there, I cannot install the driver again. The Additional Drivers dialog goes through the motions, but then drops a "systemerror: installarchives() failed" error message.

So, is there a different version of the driver I should be trying to install? I should clarify at this point I tried all three options the Additional Drivers dialog provided me, all gave the same result (version 96, version 173, and version current).

Or should I leave the kernel at 2.6.32? Is there any downside to leaving it?

Debian Configuration :: Display Size Wrongly Detected After Installing NVIDIA Driver

May 17, 2010

Using squeeze with a GeForce4 MX 440 video card (NVIDIA) I have a monitor (4/3 aspect ratio, 1024x768 usually), and a TV connected via S-video After installing the NVIDIA driver using the NVIDIA binaries I managed to have a cloned twin screen configuration working.

However, the monitor is (wrongly) detected as having size 1824x768 (aspect ratio is widescreen) Using system monitor, I can set the correct size, but only for one session; besides, the login screen too is messed up the xorg.conf file seems right: proper resolution modes are set; xorg.0.log too

Debian Configuration :: Kernel Modesetting Breaks Graphics?

Aug 1, 2010

Enabling kernel modesetting on my computer breaks graphics, but Xorg.log and syslog don't tell me much, because they don't log any error.

The symptoms are the following: boot goes on normally, then the KDM login screen is corrupted. On the login screen there is a big square instead of the cursor, and that square does move as I move the mouse. If I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 I'll get a black screen instead of the terminal, and from there I cannot go back to virtual terminal 7 for login. The only thing I can do is to issue sys-requests for read-only remount and reboot.

Where could I start looking for the problem? What does it seem to be related to, Xorg, kernel, radeon driver?

Debian Configuration :: Kernel 2.6.32-trunk-686 Breaks R8169 Ethernet

Jan 22, 2010

I upgraded testing today on my intel laptop. During the upgrade I got the message that the new kernel would require additional firmware, see attached. Is the solution for this to install the driver from Realtek? [URL] If so, the instructions said to check if the driver was already installed, but what does the output below mean?

conor@con-u3s:~$ lsmod | grep r8169

General :: DMESG Does Not Display The Kernel Driver Function PRINTK Message

Apr 7, 2010

Kernel driver function was called via ioctl and returned success, but when I checked the kernel display buffer with dmesg the printk message was not there. Then when you do lsmod, the driver you were calling showed "used by zero". So it seems like the kernel driver was not accessed. In the kernel driver, I had many printk statements, but nothing printed in the buffer. if the driver get accessed and what could cause this?

Ubuntu Networking :: Old Module In Newer Kernel?

Aug 23, 2010

I got a engineering sample wifi card - Intel wimax 5350. This card work well with kernel 2.6.28-15-generic and earlier kernels.

However after kernel 2.6.28-16 , this card no longer support by newer kernel.
the error is "Unsupported EEPROM VER=0x21b < 0x21e CALIB=0x4 < 0x4"

I knew the reason is that card is a Engineering sample .. it should not get support in newer version kernels.

What i try to think is that "is it possible to replace old wifi module into the new wifi module in new kernel " and the system can also get works !?

Below is message of dmesg.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Upgrade To A Newer Kernel

Jul 22, 2011

It seems that i am stuck using the 2.6.38-9 kernel, since no matter what i try, i can't update. I have had this problem since 2.6.38-10, but figured that the problem probably would solve itself after the next kernel update, sadly that was not the case.

I have had some worrying error-massages from dpkg about broken packages, which i believe might be the source of this problem, as it reported that the package "linux-image-generic" was broken. I removed the postinstall script from /var/lib/dpkg/info and updated both dpkg and aptitude.

I am not getting any more error messages, and if i look in the synaptic package manager, i can see that kernel 2.6.38-11 is indeed installed, yet i can't select it at bootup, even though i have tried to manually update grub.
