Description kiorky 2007-11-16 02:25:21 UTC
While running lastest X on gentoo (7.4), i get a black screen on X startup if i use the last driver in portage (x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.1.99.

Now, the best:
I m able to get into X with the 2.1.1 one but i cant get into my native LCD resolution (1280*800) in simple head mode. But in dual head mode,i can have the 1280*800 resolution without any problems.

Because of that, i tried to update to 2.1.99. Magicly, all was running out of the box I switched off my laptop on my end day, and back to home, swich on the laptop, and, nightmare BLACK SCREEN when X starts. I tried to ssh it from another box and sees that X was not crashed but use 100% of the cpu (just one core hopefully)...

To sum up, i can use the 2.1.99 version but i must start x with the 2.1.1 version, kill it, reinstall the 2.1.99 version and restart X ... So there is something wrong (regression) somewhere.

I tried the kernel module from the kernel sources (gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8) and from the lastest gentoo x11-drm package, with the same black screen error.

Comment 4 Hong Liu 2008-01-30 23:11:35 UTC
Would you please remove all mode related hack in xorg.conf, turn on modedebug option in Device section and provide the xorg log?

Also please try a latest driver.

Thanks,
Hong
