[solved] i915/hd3000 gnome run under failsafe mode

Hello

I just installed arch on my x220 thinkpad.
Saddly Gnome3 would only start in failsafe mode.

I put my user in video group and checked that i915 is used (with lsmod).
As the wiki say it I change 20-intel.conf
I am now at 2000 Fps under glxgears.

But gnome still only start in failsafe mode. (even after rm -r {.conf,.g*})

Does any one know how can I have my normal gnome?

I tried to install i915-git from aur but it doesn't solve the problem.

Maybe post your 20-intel.conf for someone to double-check.
Are you using GDM?

Re: [solved] i915/hd3000 gnome run under failsafe mode

here is my 20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver    "intel"
    Option    "AccelMethod"    "sna"
    Option    "SwapbuffersWait"    "false"
EndSection

I do not use gdm but lxdm could it be the reason?

Well I :
switch to GDM
reinstall with pacman gnome, intel-dri, libgl (and a few other lib)

It solve my issue!
