GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=efifb"


and none of these resolve the issue..

with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=inteldrmfb,efifb:off"

I don't get the "switching to inteldrmfb" message..


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" works beautifully though ...
Maybe take the .config you have, 'make menuconfig', unset every fb except for efifb and try that? Doesn't nomodeset limit your fb resolution rather horribly?

the only fb that is set is the efifb.

nomodeset causes problems for pm-suspend ... so I removed it from grub...I think it also corrupted my xorg-server

I installed xorg-server while nomodeset was enabled...now startx returns this error : (EE) modeset(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument

I get a black screen with a curser at the top left, alt+shift+q which is the key sequence for exiting dwm works fine...
