 Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:08 am Post subject: black screen after grub |
 |
|
Hi guys,
I have a problem with a gentoo installation. everything works fine, except that the monitor keeps getting blank after the kernel selection menu in grub. This does not allways happen, sometimes the monitor displays the boot process, respective the bootsplash image. the setup of this machine is as follows:
I have an eGalax touchscreen with an integrated pc (this is an all-in-one machine). A second 8.4" display is connected via vga to this machine. This small display has a resolution of 1024x768 whereas the integrated has a resolution of 1920x1080. The strange thing is, that the small display allways works, but the bigger integrated touchscreen does not allway work (the normal case is, that it won't work).
But if I boot the gentoo minimal install cd, the monitor works fine and can also be reactivated after going to sleep with the press of a button.
I have tried a lot of things, but nothing worked. Following, i will describe the hardware in use:

kernel config amd64 3.7.10 : http://pastebin.com/G1vSJm2g
according to dmesg, there is a acpi driver missing, as statet in this line:
| Code: | | [ 1.427037] i915: No ACPI video bus found |
but where do i find this option? I know, it's something kernel related.
As you can see, I have tested with several kernel command lines, but none of them have worked to my statisfaction. It would be great, if someone could give me a tip on what is left to try.
I also have found some articles, but the solution there is allways to turn of support of uvesafb or vesafb, which I do not have enabled. |

What else does the i915 initialization say?
As an extreme option, you could take the kernel config of the livecd kernel or whatever you used to install (easier if you can cat /proc/config.gz from that system, un-gzip it to .config in your new kernel tree, then make oldconfig). It becomes the base for your configuration and you're more likely to have the correct options enabled. If you don't use an initrd then maybe some things have to be set as built-in. |

thanks for the reply. I will try this with the kernel config from the live minimal cd. for now, here is the complete dmesg output:
