I have upgraded xorg-server to 1.11 and the intel card isn't recognized anymore. Fails to load DRM device. and other errors. I get screen not found. I checked the output and found out that there is no /dev/dri. Here is the complete output of Xorg.0.log:

I checked and found out that /dev/dri doesn't exist.

I also reinstalled all the xf86 dirvers.

I also created a file 20-intel.conf

Code:

cat 20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Card0"
   Driver "intel"
   VendorName "Intel Cororation"
   BoardName "Intel Corporation"
   BusId "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection


Code:
cat /etc/make.conf |grep VI
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics"
VIDEO_CARDS="intel"
LIRC_DEVICES="devinput"


Code:

grep KMS /usr/src/linux/.config

queen,

/dev/dri is provided by the kernel.

Turn off any hardware framebuffer drivers.
Turn on Intel in agpgart and in DRM in the kernel.
Turn on KMS (Kernel mode setting) under one of the intel options.

At one time KMS was optional, its not true any more.

You will get a framebuffer console for free.

This is what I have in the kernel.

Code:
grep FRAME .config
CONFIG_SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y
# CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION is not set
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS=y
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y


Code:

grep AGP .config
CONFIG_AGP=y
# CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_ATI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD64 is not set
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
# CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_EFFICEON is not set


Code:

grep DRM .config
CONFIG_DRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I830 is not set
CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set


Code:

grep KMS .config
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y

If I understand correct, I have to disable
Code:
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y
too or I got it already for free?

queen,

Those options should be harmless.

It things like vesafb or uvesafb or any hardware related items in that menu must be disabled.

Do you get errors from i915 in dmesg? Does "lspci -k" confirm that the i915 driver is driving your graphics chipset?

I always used i915.
Code:

lspci -k
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Fujitsu Technology Solutions Device 106a
        Kernel driver in use: i915


Regarding dmesg and i915, I don't get any errors.

I managed to solve the problem. I am not sure what exactly solved it. The only thing I did was update dbus and some corrections with stop-system-daemon file that was giving me errors with authentication and many services and modules were not loaded.

I encountered an issue with the same symptoms (no /dev/dri so X won't start) which I believe is actually caused by a udev update. I had upgraded from udev-171 to udev-181 (and several other packages), and when I rebooted, X failed to start. I had made several other changes including upgrading xorg-server to 1.12 and xf86-video-intel to 2.18, so I wasn't sure who the culrpit was. I tried reverting everything, including dbus, mesa, libdrm, etc., but I wasn't able to resolve my issue. I also tried upgrading, going to kernel 3.3.0 from 3.1. I then tried upgrading udev from 181 to 182 and noticed the message about "CONFIG_DEVTMPFS" missing. I rebuilt my kernel (3.3.0-gentoo) to include both that and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT and now my issue has gone away. X works great (I am now running the latest ~amd64 versions of everything I mentioned).

Hope this helps someone,
Nick

Thanks, that fixed it for me.
