In the past, I've rebuilt the kernel with the i915 driver built-in, and that works fine. But is there any way to do this without recompiling your kernel? I read that I shouldn't use vga=XXX with Intel KMS.
I tried adding the i915 module to my initrd, but that gives me an error message on boot. Something like "Unable to initialize the agpgart module"
I installed Slackware 13.0.
During boot I see a penguin in the upper left top of my screen. This logo takes up about 10 lines of my screen and I don't want it.
I do want to keep my 132x50 lines mode tough, but no penguin.
How do I do that? I mean, SOMEHOW the penguin most have gotten there, where first normal text was displayed.
I'm trying to use a monitor on the HDMI port of my Asus laptop which has Intel integrated graphics.
It doesn't detect the monitor using the display utility.
Got an Asus eeepc 900a. Runs Intel 915 graphics. Upgraded to slackware current last week. X would not start. Based on info here, I reverted back to earlier libdrm and xf86-video-intel. That got it working again.
Updated Slackware current again today. I think I got a new kernel. Now, halfway through boot time, the screen goes blank, then comes back and the font is tiny. Gone into framebuffer mode. If I start X, it just freezes. Nothing but a reboot will get out of it.
I have vga=normal in lilo.conf, but I read that this is no longer used. I can find no way to turn off framebuffer mode. From other threads here, I have tried append="i915.modeset=1" in lilo.conf. Has no effect.
I could revert Slackware to 13.0 from current, and that would make the eeepc useful again. Is there anything else I should try?
Happening right now on a Fedora XII 64 Bit:The latest Fedora kernel update (from today, 2009/12/01 - coming from fedora updates [not update-testing]) destroys my Intel GM45 (= i915 kernel driver) so much that I
1. Have no plymouth dooring booting (just this blue textmode lines on the bottom)
2. Have a completley black KDE screen (only my colorshaded windows shadows appear, if I rightclick into the darkness - with no contents) - that's however a composite effect which strangely enough works (Alt f2 reveals for the 10th of a second the "start application"-window and vanishes)
3. If I change to a tty console (eg.via CTRL ALT F5), in 3 of 5 tries the screen does not manage to change to the new video mode and flickers insanely (switching back betwwen CTRL ALT F1 [x-server] and CTRL ALT F5 [tty] a couple of times helps) which tells me that...
- at least KMS is gone.
- 3D-Compositing is completly messed up resulting in a unusable complete black GUI
However, beside this
4. the KDM login screen appears in its full beauty and so does the "KDE loading" thing. Going back to kernel 2.6.31.5 makes any of this disappear and working nicely (I defaulted this in grub now). The computer is a lenovo thinkpad SL500 (cheap intel dualcore 64Bit CPU) with intel GMA4500 chipgraphics (if its not something with my linux configuration it should affect other similar notebook types too).
I really use fedora on my notebook (right now with kernel 2.6.31.5). My desktop uses a radeon HD 4870 - big bad luck with fedora 12: The radeon driver is not able to show KDE windows the right way (looks really really bad - even with those "experimental" Mesa settings-trick) and the unfree AMD driver does not work under fedoras high X Server version (which may be better this way! ) . So I end up using windows on it, waiting for a decent radeon driver to kickstart a decent 64bit linux (fedora still being first choice as the right compromise between cutting edge and usability)...
I'm trying to set up an HP DisplayLink USB graphic adapter on Debian 6 to be paired with the notebook's integrated Intel i915 video card. I use a custom 3.11.1 kernel in which the options for VGA arbitration, fbdev framebuffer and DisplayLink driver are enabled as built-in, not as modules.
The device works and I'm able to correctly run an X session on a DVI monitor connected to my notebook thru this USB graphic adapter. However, I'm still not able to use both the DisplayLink device and the integrated Intel i915 at the same time under X, with the purpose to extend the desktop area over the two screens, side by side.
During a boot, if the DisplayLink adapter is detected over the USB cable, the X-server's Intel driver is repudiated as shown in the logs below, and the main notebook's screen stops working with X. (nonetheless, it still functions on the "Alt-F1" text terminal).

I have had continued issues with my graphics: [URL]... Now, after an update manager update, I have a new issue. My mouse cursor disappears when I use my external monitor beyond a given resolution. Also, my settings for the laptop monitor are incorrect (will not let me select the true laptop native resolution). I even had an instance when I had mirrored images, but saw the mouse pointer only on the laptop screen, but not on the external monitor. I also recently did the suggestion to
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.modeset=0 quiet splash"
Which had caused issues when I was previously running Ubuntu in dual boot with WIN XP. I am now on standalone Ubuntu 10.04. I reversed the grub edit, but the problem persists. Currently, I have to keep my external monitor at a much lower resolution for mouse pointer to show up, or use the CTRL key to show mouse pointer location feature in higher resolutions. All other aspects of the higher resolution for the external monitor work well...just that my mouse cursor does not show up.
I've been using it since it was put on current and have been having X crash on me repeatedly or getting a black screen from which I can only recover by a hard reboot. This is happening under a couple of different WMs without compositing (so this isn't the same issue that I was having with KDE and xscreensaver).
I'm using the i915 driver with stock 2.6.37.6, but I also tried a 2.6.38.2 kernel but had the same problem with both.
Here's a backtrace (for what it is worth):

I upgraded to -current last night hoping to improve my Intel 845G graphics controllers functioning in X, I've had to use the vesa driver for stability. The upgrade was completed but KDE seems as slow as ever. Here's some snippets from Xorg.0.log:

I have really problems with i915 driver (module) and my graphic card on squeeze with gnome.There is a BUG and there is no any solution at the moment:[URL]So I'd like to disable i915 driver from the startup and load i810 module instead:
Code:
# modprobe i810
# modprobe i910
#
BTW I've tried to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with i810 module for the video card, but it doesn't work, i915 will be loaded.
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier"i810"
Driver"i810"

Is it any other way to blacklist i915 completely from the startup, for example in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf?
Im having a battle for quite some time now with lastest intel driver now and wondering if someone has solution. Ive checked :[URL].. and i decided to have exact same version of everything listed in there installed on the system.

The screen looks a bit fuzzy, like a sand effect. I have the same situation with any Linux distributions that I've installed on it except for "Mandriva 2009 One". There the graphics card works perfectly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I currently have an install of Karmic running that has been upgraded over the years but I am repartitioning my drives so I did a fresh install on a new drive.
My first problem was the live cd would not boot and I had to use the alternate cd to do the install. It would boot into a blank screen and the i915.modeset=0 kernel parameter did not help.
After the installation finished I went to try and boot and found that right when it went to initialize the graphics, my computer locked up hard. Keyboard unresponsive and all. I read the forums and I tried using the kernel parameter i915.modeset=0 and removed quiet and splash from the kernel line to see if I could spot any errors but nothing appeared.
I am able to boot into recovery mode, and I tried even running an apt-get upgrade to get all my packages up to date and installed the latest nvidia driver but still have this issue.
I'm at a loss as to what I should attempt next.

I was fiddling with some svg icons and I needed a slack svg logo: looking on the propaganda page, I spotted this jpg that looked like a nice and clean candidate. So I fired up inkscape and tried to manually trace a (manageable) svg version out of it. Then I thought that maybe an editable vector version of it can be useful to someone else and, as asked by Pat, I release it here under the GPL. [URL]. (gotta say I haven't looked around if any other logo svg has been posted before, but, clicking on the "Click Here to Find Similar Threads" found this funny one )

Firstly when I first installed Ubuntu on my machine, the bootscreen logo was small and high resolution, and it looked nice, however as I started using Ubuntu I must have done something for it to change to large and low resolution.
I try the live cd again and that one is normal, so it must be my settings.. and also when I am shutting down, the screen shows some messages I can't read because it's kind of fast, and the messages are kind of low res too.
