i see the intel i915 black screen issue is back
just built a new kernel for ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.38-rc2) and, depressingly, this kernel once again boots to a black screen given the intel i915 onboard video. this is getting frustrating. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Then let the i915 developers know about this, they just fixed a number of issues relevant to this. Complaining on a random mailing list will not get this resolved, no matter how much we wish it were so :) thanks, greg k-h

point taken. that was just some residual frustration left over from weeks of tolerating that problem, to see it *finally* (or so i thought) go away, then to suddenly come back right when i'm trying to put together a LUG talk on building a new kernel. grrrrrr. so the obvious question is, is anyone else seeing this problem back again? i note one person who claims that things still seem to work. anyone else? or could it really just be something weird i've done? rday p.s. i posted to the dri-devel list, let's see what i hear back. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

There have been a lot of changes recently to this driver, so regressions are expected, expecially in the middle of the development cycle. Please report them to the developers and work with them to resolve them, that's the best way. good luck, greg k-h

It worked on my Ubuntu-Desktop. Ubuntu version: 10.4. Please see the attached config file (I have not enabled/disabled any config parameter - it is a default one).

p.s. i posted to the dri-devel list, let's see what i hear back.

oh, we've been having an exciting time on the dri-devel list with this. if anyone wants to play along, the current workaround is to take the git-bisected bad commit (b705120e), and deactivate a chunk of functionality: $ git diff diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregi index 64fd644..27f677e 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_opregion.c @@ -470,6 +470,8 @@ int intel_opregion_setup(struct drm_device *dev) u32 asls, mboxes; int err = 0; + return -ENOTSUPP; + pci_read_config_dword(dev->pdev, PCI_ASLS, &asls); DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER("graphic opregion physical addr: 0x%x\n", asls); if (asls == 0) { at this point, the job is to narrow down where in that file the problem is occurring. it's clear that others are not seeing this so i can only imagine it's some combination of my hardware and its version or something. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

in case anyone is interested, i regressed to 2.6.38-rc1 and that works fine. and "git log" shows me that there were a number of i915-related commits after that. if i get some time later, i'll do a bisection. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Just pulled and tried on my two i915 machines, and I cannot reproduce this (Arch Linux). Boot works as expected. Alex.
