Starting gdm3 getting to black screen with cursor
Quick description:
I recently started trying to get my Debian(squeeze) installation running on a
new Ivy Bridge machine. I disabled the nvidia optimus gfx card in the bios, so
the only active gfx card is the intel one.
Using latest stable kernel, xf86-video-intel, libdrm gives, when starting gdm3
however, the screen blanks, and theres only a white cursor at the top left,
leaving it for quite some while makes no difference.
-----
Detailed:
This is what I've done so far getting to this point.
To start with, I compiled a new kernel, 3.7.6 and make sure to enable:
CONFIG_DRM_I915=m
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
after reboot lsmod | grep i915 gives:
i915 377949 2
drm_kms_helper 17932 1 i915
intel_agp 7845 1 i915
intel_gtt 11114 2 i915,intel_agp
button 3371 1 i915
video 9277 1 i915
$ uname -a
Linux box 3.7.6-intel #1 SMP Sat Feb 9 09:08:15 CET 2013 i686 GNU/Linux
$ uname -r
3.7.6-intel
Libdrm - 2.4.40
Compiled with ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; sudo make install
xf86-video-intel - 2.20.12
Compiled with ./configure --prefix=/usr; make; make check; sudo make install
I avoided the 3d drivers for now trying to keep it simple. :)
Starting gdm3 after this point gives the log in Xorg.log_intel_drv.
I also tried booting the kernel with i915.semaphores=1 and i915.nomodeset=1
since I read that might be useful, but it doesnt make any difference in this
case.
If I make uninstall the xf86-video-intel I can start gdm3 but I assume it then
uses fbdev/vesa for the screen.</pre>
