[SOLVED] xorg: Failed to load module "i915" / no screens found

xcvzd · 2017-03-19 10:47:04

Hi,

Did a system update on my optimus laptop that broke intel-virtual-output, which I've been using for multi-head. Been fiddling with xorg and bumblebee settings trying to fix this and now xorg won't start. Stupidly, didn't keep any backups ...

I've tried downgrading xf86-video-intel and reinstalling xorg without success. Wayland starts successfully but is, unfortunately, not an option (not very good nvidia or optimus support).

I want to run x on the integrated and not on the discrete gpu, if that makes sense.

Any guidance on how to approach this would be super much appreciated!

That combined with the rest of the xorg log suggests you have a *.conf file that's messing things up.

Try without any conf-files to verify basic X functionality works

You're absolutely right, I had completely missed the config files in /usr/share/X11. I removed those and auto detect is now working perfectly. The problems I had with intel-virtual-output are also gone.

Big thanks for your help, Lone_Wolf, this was really driving me insane!

I have exactly all the same error outputs that you have. I don't even have an xorg.conf file! Nvidia modprobe file is the same. But I don't hae bumblebee installed. is that problem? Wayland starts eventually after about a minute of telling me (EE) no screens found (EE) etc. But then eventually starts. So what files exactly am I supposed to be looking for in /usr/share/X11?

n33b0, don't hijack other threads. You may have some similar error messages, but it doesn't sound like your problem is the same. Please open your own thread with a proper description. Specifically, you seem to be saying you are using Wayland, but you are talking about xorg.conf and xorg logs which are irrelevant if you are using wayland.
