 Posted: Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:24 am Post subject: FATAL: Error inserting i915 |
 |
|
Trying to set up the X server so I can get a window manager going.
At first, I had the i915 graphics driver compiled into the kernel. But xorg was giving me complaints about the module not existing, so I redid it as a module.
I get the same error from Xorg and from trying to run modprobe.

I've installed Gentoo before, and even gotten Gnome running on this same machine. This is a fresh install, and searches have all turned up similar errors, but with the "Invalid argument" changed to something else. Is this a bug in the code, or a bug in my brain?  |

Hello, I have also troubles with i915 driver. I have installed the i915 as a kernel module, but the loading of the module is not correct and the graphics works wrongly (e.g. overlapping text in konsole)

I tried to google the message from the kernel, but i have not found a solution yet...
I also tried unsuccessfully to load the module i915 in xorg.conf file...
My kernel version is 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 and

Post lspci -n and which kernel version you're using and I'll see if I can spot something. |
Kernel is 2.6.31-r10

For intel cards you need to disable CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y in your kernel, then rebuild it, like during the installation. Review that part of the Gentoo Handbook if required.
Remember to mount the /boot partition (if any) before copying over the new kernel. |

That did it! I can now get a nice xterm session running. Thanks! |
