I have upgraded xorg-server to 1.11 and the intel card isn't recognized anymore. Fails to load DRM device. and other errors. I get screen not found. I checked the output and found out that there is no /dev/dri. Here is the complete output of Xorg.0.log:

Any ideas how to solve it?

queen,

/dev/dri is provided by the kernel.

Turn off any hardware framebuffer drivers.
Turn on Intel in agpgart and in DRM in the kernel.
Turn on KMS (Kernel mode setting) under one of the intel options.

At one time KMS was optional, its not true any more.

You will get a framebuffer console for free.

This is what I have in the kernel.

Code: Select all

grep FRAME .config

CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y
# CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION is not set

CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set

Code: Select all

grep KMS .config
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y

If I understand correct, I have to disable

Code: Select all

CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y

too or I got it already for free?

queen,

Those options should be harmless.

It things like vesafb or uvesafb or any hardware related items in that menu must be disabled.

Do you get errors from i915 in dmesg? Does "lspci -k" confirm that the i915 driver is driving your graphics chipset?

I always used i915.

Code: Select all

lspci -k
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Fujitsu Technology Solutions Device 106a
        Kernel driver in use: i915

Regarding dmesg and i915, I don't get any errors.

I managed to solve the problem. I am not sure what exactly solved it. The only thing I did was update dbus and some corrections with stop-system-daemon file that was giving me errors with authentication and many services and modules were not loaded.

I encountered an issue with the same symptoms (no /dev/dri so X won't start) which I believe is actually caused by a udev update. I had upgraded from udev-171 to udev-181 (and several other packages), and when I rebooted, X failed to start. I had made several other changes including upgrading xorg-server to 1.12 and xf86-video-intel to 2.18, so I wasn't sure who the culrpit was. I tried reverting everything, including dbus, mesa, libdrm, etc., but I wasn't able to resolve my issue. I also tried upgrading, going to kernel 3.3.0 from 3.1. I then tried upgrading udev from 181 to 182 and noticed the message about "CONFIG_DEVTMPFS" missing. I rebuilt my kernel (3.3.0-gentoo) to include both that and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT and now my issue has gone away. X works great (I am now running the latest ~amd64 versions of everything I mentioned).

Hope this helps someone,
Nick

Thanks, that fixed it for me.

Yes, that fixed it for me also. Thank you.
