Intel video with 2.6.25?

monk · 2008-05-25 18:26:00

Has somebody got intel video working with the new 2.6.25 kernel?
I upgraded and now xf86-driver-intel doesn't seem to work. When i do hwd -x it only creates a vesa xorg.conf file and no xorg.conf.i810. with my old xorg.conf it says "no screens found" because of that module.

What's the name of your driver in xorg.conf? If it's "i810" you need to change it to "intel". At least that's what did the trick for me.
By the way, I got the error after the driver's update some days ago, but everything is working with the recent kernel update.

monk, i believe that has more to do with hwd's tables. Manually setting it as intel works fine, but the hwd tables seem to be messed up for the new kernel.

The driver is working fine here

Hwd reads the result of "lspci" and compares the vga hardware's vendor and device id with the /usr/share/hwd/xorgtable. If kernel does affects the hardware information, I am not aware.

Good to know.
The thing is I have the same problem with hwd. I have 2 kernels. One is .24 and the other .25. Just switching between the 2 kernels is enough to cause hwd to give me different settings files. Also when on .24 hwd runs cleanly, but on .25 hwd shows a set of end of line errors for a bunch of different pci devices, including the gpu. My conclusion was that something changed in the kernel and now it is showing a different id, and hwd hasn't been updated yet for it. Either way, I'm fine with it, since I do most of my configuration by hand anyways (hwd can't handle wacom ).

Yes, you are right! Didn't try until now. "Hwd -e" still looks quite fine but "-s" is messed up. I will take a look how to fix it.

Rasat, do you need any info from my system? lspci, etc ?

schivmeister · 2008-06-02 08:11:45

rasat, will you be updating hwd on using the intel driver instead of i810? I'm guessing all chips work with that one, but you may want to restrict it to > i915.

To update any driver in /usr/share/hwd/xorgtable, I need to know the vendor and device id.
http://user-contributions.org/projects/ … /xorgtable

The hwd issue here is not about the xorgtable but the sed/awk/grep script reading the "lspci" output and finding the vend/dev ids in /sys/devices/. Instead of having different scripts for different kernels, I may have to make something else. Not sure yet.

It was a minor problem, hwd is fixed!!
