I am still using 3.4.9 kernel, the latest workign but I try every new release in the hope it gets fixed ...
Until now, the latest Gnome update no longer works, probably the kernel is too old ..... this is a laptop so blacklist the graphics module is not an option, also rolling back the gnome (and xserver updates, and ....) doesn't look a smart option, it almost equals to stop updating Arch completely. At the moment all gnome applications are unusable, even the terminal starts but only shows a black window with a border as most other gnome apps.
For the moment I switched to openbox and AWN, even the 3d effects do work and it is a cool desktop, I am still looking for a nice gtk3rc to beautify a bit the standard gtk controls but otherwise satisfied. The lappy is also more responsive :-) Heck even blender works fine .....
Too bad thare isn't a nice terminal program around, with tabs, unicode, nice fonts etc ...
Am I the only one that uses Arch with a Dell D610-D620 with an Intel card? (those are the model affected)
]]>Exactly the same problem has been reported already to the kernel developer, and apparently still there is no solution in 3.6rc3 ...well I think I am going to use 3.4.9 for a while :-)
Maybe there is a workaround suggested in bugzilla.kernel.org, I am going to try this as well;
This is indeed a very strange bug: We set up SDVOB and can't find anything for
SDVOC. But later on we die trying to do a transfer on SDVOC, even though that
thing isn't set up and even though we managed to do a successful i2c transfer
when probing.To rule out any stupid timing bugs or issues brough up by other things
scribbling over our driver, can you please boot with kms disable
(i915.modeset=0), and the reload the i915.ko module after boot manually with
kms enable (you need to kill X for that):modprobe i915 modeset=1
I see that the linux-3.5.4 pkg includes a patch that might have something to do with this problem, maybe tomorrow I will try to recompile the kernel without the patch to see if it causing problems to me, I had no issues until the last update. The previous kernel I had (3.4.9, I don't update too often recently :-) ) works perfectly, I guess I am stuck at this release until the problem is fixed ....
