[Intel-gfx] Help-On frame Buffer

[Bruno Prémont]

Hi Sanjay,

Most useful would be the pertinent part of your kernel log
(dmesg | grep -A 10 -B 10 drm) as well as some of the content
of the following sysfs files (edid is binary):
  /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-*/{dpms,edid,enabled,modes,status}

Eventually also:
  grep /sys/module/i915/parameters/*
and
  uname -a
