Hi all,
I'm trying to get X working on a Macbook Pro with a busted discrete graphics card. I've tried so many things but no matter what I do I end up with startx hanging.
I have these graphics cards:
[macbook@macbook ~]$ lspci -k | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216M [GeForce GT 330M] (rev a2)I have the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf - suggested by http://carlosbecker.com/posts/how-to-en … archlinux/
Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
EndSectionI boot with the following kernel paramaters (UEFI)
root=/dev/sda2 rw modprobe.blacklist=nouveauIf I don't blacklist nouveau Arch hangs during boot.
When I run startx it prints the normal startx information and then just hangs. If I ssh in and run ps I can see the following:
root 333 0.0 0.1 89852 4144 ? Ss 03:42 0:00 login -- macbook

macbook 960 0.0 0.2 151712 10320 tty1 S 04:10 0:00 \_ i3so it looks like i3 does in fact start, however if I run a strace on it I see:
[macbook@macbook xorg.conf.d]$ sudo strace -p `pidof i3`
Process 960 attached
recvmsg(4, 0x7fff1a78b760, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
recvmsg(7, 0x7fff1a78b740, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
epoll_wait(5, so it looks like it's hanging on something, not sure what to make of that.
If I instead try to run a random graphical application with xinit, eg "xinit /usr/bin/terminator -- :0" it gives up after around 10 seconds. The X log contains:
