 |
|
Hello list. Here's my setup on a thinkpad x61 Tablet
The card:
| Code: | #lspci
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
|
The driver:
| Code: |
# equery l xf86-video-intel
[ Searching for package 'xf86-video-intel' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.14.0 (0) |
The Kernel config
| Code: |
<*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --->
<*> Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G (i915 driver) --->
i915 driver
[y] Enable modesetting on intel by default
|
starting X without a .conf file doesn't even try to load the driver and craps out... starting with
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel_Display"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
|
I get
| Code: |

And I can't get X to start. Could it be the " [y] Enable modesetting on intel by default"? I don't won't to recompile and I doubt that'll be the cause.
Any help is appreciated.

I figured this info might be relevant. i915 is compiled into the kernel but it is loading fine (I guess)
| Code: | #dmesg
[ 0.307965] i915 0000:00:02.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0
[ 0.308168] i915 0000:00:02.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0

[ 0.368531] i915 0000:00:02.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X
|
And drm shows:
| Code: | #dmesg
[ 0.307764] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 0.367328] [drm] MTRR allocation failed. Graphics performance may suffer.

|
Still can't start X on a freshly installed system and I don't know what the panic notifier there is. |

I haven't played with the Intel drivers really, but here's some thoughts.
It does seem to load the correct driver, is there anything between the
| Code: | | [ 512.576] (--) using VT number 7 |
and
| Code: | | [ 512.579] (EE) No devices detected. |
or is this really the full log?
The empty space is what makes me wonder.
Also, have you tried to create the xorg.conf by using
Could you also post the full Xorg.0.log for us to see, it might help some more. ^^

It's not the full log but it's the relevant part (see below). However, there's nothing between the VT using... and the no devices... The blank line is there in the log as well.

That fails with

No devices to configure. Configuration failed. |

Ohh lord, I can't believe it took me so long to figure this out. It turns out that udev is not added to sysinit by default... I understand this in systems that are moving to openrc, but this is a freshly installed system. I of course failed to read the elog for udev... "You need to add the udev init script..."
Well, that was it..

Ah, yes, similar things happened to me many, many times. And what comes to the current documentation, it is in a bit of a situation with the recent major changes.
Sorry I couldn't see the solution for you, I have been running a working system for too long and it makes me forget things. >.<
Either way, good job and good to see you found the answer!
