[Solved]Hardware acceleration causes kernel panic

I'm creating a new post to avoid being a thread necromancer. I've figured out that hardware acceleration, no matter what the program, causes a kernel panic on both the LTS and default kernel. I'm sure hardware has something to do with it, I'm using an AXC-603-3B11 and have tried installing that intel cpu/gpu updates or whatever they're called, but there are no updates for my hardware. What do I do about this other than disable hardware acceleration on everything? Is there somewhere I should report this to?

Have you experienced it with other distributions too?

Re: [Solved]Hardware acceleration causes kernel panic

I haven't used any other distro on this machine other than CentOS, but I only used it to download and burn the Arch Linux install/maintenance ISO. I never had a problem with it, but I only used it for a few hours.

Re: [Solved]Hardware acceleration causes kernel panic

I can't even pull up AXC-603-3B11 on google to check the hardware specs. You have the Intel Cpu/gpu combo I take it?

Run this...

lspci -v -s `lspci | awk '/VGA/{print $1}'`

and report it here. There are drivers I'm sure.

Yeah, it has an intel cpu/gpu.

Re: [Solved]Hardware acceleration causes kernel panic

It looks like it's an ACER desktop, probably the 3 in 3B11 is a typo and should be EB11 .

Re: [Solved]Hardware acceleration causes kernel panic

Yeah, that's it. Anyways, I did check that page in the wiki and did install it and whatnot. The issue is a kernel panic, so I didn't think that X would be an issue. I'll change the config and see what happens.
