hi,

this is a problem on a fedora 20 machine with an old intel 8xxxx card. i write this here because i am now mainly for kernel param settings which is an international topic.

i can see grub during boot, but when kernel comes up at some point i get out of sync/no signal message from the some old hansol monitor. after X comes up i get video signal again. but when i switch to ctrl+alt+f1 the signal gets lost again and i want to use that to get root. when this pc was connected to my old eizo i did not get this problem. the connection is a vga cable.

now for the kernel parameters:

i tried:
1. nomodeset
2. acpi=off

and the terminal problem disapeared. but when playing videos in vlc or mplayer the player did freeze. this pc is meant mainly to play videos and music so i have a problem with that.

i tried also these without an effect:
1. i915.mode=0
2. i915.mode=1
3. pci=bios
4. pci=nobios
5. acpi_osi=Linux
6. acpi_osi=Windows

i also tried these to set the resolution but only 1. vga worked
1. vga=792
2. set gfxmode=1024x768
3. set vbemode=0x105

now the question is is there a way to get the tty terminal on this machine while the video players work?

e3k ... whatever the topic its Fedora and so should be posted to "Unsupported Software". You should request a moderator to move it.

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Unsupported Software.
