Comment 3 Chris Wilson 2013-08-06 12:00:32 UTC

UMS is not supported on Ironlake. Add "options i915 modeset=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf

Comment 4 Appu 2013-08-06 12:53:11 UTC

I don't find the "i915.conf" as you mentioned in this path "/etc/modprobe.d" 
these are the conf files in that directory...

alsa-base.conf, blacklist.conf, blacklist-modem.conf
blacklist-ath-pci.conf, blacklist-firewire.conf
blacklist-oss.conf, blacklist-bt.conf, blacklist-framebuffer.conf
blacklist-watchdog.conf

Comment 5 Chris Wilson 2013-08-06 13:00:39 UTC

So add the i915.conf...

Comment 6 Appu 2013-08-06 13:50:37 UTC
