 Posted: Mon Dec 04, 2023 5:01 am Post subject: Issue with Intel Graphics i915 |
 |
|
Hi all, I have everything working on my laptop A1425 (MacBook Pro 13) but i915. I can't for the love of me get this working.
My main issue is boot. The last message on my boot is i915 drm fb0: i915drmfb frame buffer device with no other lines after. There is just a blinking cursor. I can't access dmesg, or any logs. Plus the logs do not save. I checked and the journals which showed nothing.
I have the i915 built as a module with AGP support, Intel graphics checked under AGP, and dependencies.
The i915 is in my initramfs made with dracut.
Example of issue,
i915 using Transparent Hugepages
i915 DMAR active, disabling use of stolen memory,
i915 skipping intel_backlight registration.
[drm] initialized i915
Console: switching to colour framebuffer device 320x180
i915 0000:00:02:00 [drm] fb0: i915drmfb frame buffer device
_ <- blinking cursor.
Ill upload the config from my laptop
----------------
file:///mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
----------------
Here is my dracut.
| Code: | Host-only (Kernel-modules will include only the tools and modules for rootfs)
hostonly="yes"

Ok your cpu is a third gen intel.
In make.conf you need
| Code: |
VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
|
followed by
| Code: |
emerge -av sys-kernel/linux-firmware
emerge -DUav @world.
|
You have a plain profile.
Maybe you should consider switching to a desktop profile followed by a rebuild @world.
Do you have
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
or
x11-base/xorg-drivers
installed?
I wonder why the console driver is not working for you....
In make menuconfig try to add
| Code: |
CONFIG_FB_VESA
CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE
|
rebuild and reinstall kernel.

Yup. I have xf86-video-intel. Im confused? I thought for Intel i just need "Intel" as according to wiki. |

According to
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel#X_drivers
you need
| Code: |
VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
|
Try adding
| Code: |
echo "options i915 modeset=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
|
And plz see my above updated comment.
Are you intentionally using a non-desktop profile?

Dread0375,
It sounds like the console works until the i915drmfb frame buffer driver takes over the console and its broken.
Can you post dmesg please, se we can see what happens on startup.
your kerne has both EFI_FB, which will start fastest as its built into the kernel
i915drmfb is a loadable module, so it will be loaded after the kernel mounts the initrd as root.
The output of will be useful too.
-- edit --
Intel® Core™ i5-3210M Processor
Its an Ivy Bridge.

I think you should remove i915 from dracut.

This is wrong, it should be just VIDEO_CARDS="intel" for this 7th Gen GPU
Ensure that xf86-video-intel is *not* installed or problems may occur without extra configuration. |

It is 3rd generation not 7th.

This text is misleading. It is Gen7 GPU because it is Ivy Bridge. It may be '3rd Gen Core', however the GPU generation starts with I810 as Gen1 (PIII era). Gen3 GPU is a P4. Core i5 CPUs equate to at least Gen5 GPU. |
