Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 9:22 pm Post subject: [Solved] X.org with intel 82865G chipset |
|
|
Hello,
I've installed latest gentoo (as of Jan 2014) on a rather old Dell with intel built-in chipset for everything. I've got the network card recognised okay, with e100 module, but I've had no joy with getting Xorg to work.
I have VIDEO_CARDS="intel" in /etc/portage/make.conf and emerged Xorg after setting that.
lspci includes:
Code: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
|
running Xorg -configure gives a log file including:
Code: | [ 30812.592] (II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0)
[ 30812.594] (--) PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:2572:1028:019d rev 2, Mem @ 0xe8000000/134217728, 0xfeb80000/524288, I/O @ 0x0000ed98/8
[ 30812.594] List of video drivers:
[ 30812.594] intel
[ 30812.594] (II) LoadModule: "intel"
[ 30812.595] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
|
but then ends with
Code: | [ 30812.617] Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
|
I tried following the Xorg howto to install things, but must be missing something. Not sure what, though.

Did you try without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
If you need /etc/X11/xorg.conf, what is in it? _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD
What am I supposed watching? |

I tried first without an xorg.conf, then created one using Xorg -configure, and have tried playing around with that. I haven't stuck it in /etc/X11 yet, but run Xorg -config ./xorg.conf while I'm still trying to get it to work. |

It gives you the same error with and without the xorg.conf?
Post the error log somewhere? _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD

... but yes, the error (at the point of X giving up) is the same either way |

I hope I have KMS set... Would it be in the default genkernel version? I'll take a look. |

So, I didn't have CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS set.
Now I do, and I have X
Thank you eccerr0r for all your help! |

Cool, yes, hate it that the Intel driver requires in-kernel KMS for it to work nowadays. It also used to print a warning if it found hardware but no KMS, now it seems to assume people know... Bad assumption IMHO.
Anyway, for the community, please add [SOLVED] into the title so others who may chance upon this thread in search can find this solution easier! _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD
