Debian Wheezy with Linux 3.2.0 then Linux 3.4.x and updated packages from wheezy ASUS P8B75-M Chipset Intel B75 Sandybridge i3 3220 with HD2500 video RAM 2x4 Gb I am unable to get a console either in single or any other runlevel, even going through nomodeset at boot time, video such as vga=775 or 711 works at boot time but after impossible to get a console. I tried yesterday to break in through "boot repair disk" but when switching in video mode I don't have any more access. All access I managed to have was through telnet. I've even added a low end MSI graphic card and have the same issue. (I moved to 3.4 for I had the freeze...)
Can you please attach an "lspci -vv"? The key point that I am looking for is whether or not the BIOS sets up the display adaptor.
Hello, New fresh install, I've been through bios upgrade then downgrade then through a lot of other bios issues with disks.... Here is the result of the command, given that video now works at least on the nvidia card I added, not yet tested the onboard video output that stuck me first time.

Ok, in that setup, the BIOS is hiding the igfx completely so the Intel GPU is never powered up and can not be used to drive any outputs. There should be an option in the BIOS as to whether it hides the igfx when a discrete GPU is connected, and which to use as the primary if both are available. Can you please jiggle with your system to try reproducing the original issue?
Do you think that removing the discrete iGPU (here nvidia card) would be sufficient ? It was my initial setup and I am now quite confident to get a ssh access to the machine without a screen. Also, there is very few options in the BIOS regarding the GPU, I've never touched that. I guess there is a possibility the initial BIOS had some issues for upgrade then downgrade seems to have fixed a lot already ?
Yes, if you remove the discrete GPU the BIOS *should* enable the igfx. If you can do that quickly and be able to remotely login (in case the screen remains blank) and grab the lspci that would be very helpful.
here is the boot with both cards but only on the intel one: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller (rev 09) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Hello, please look at the last which is one card, the previous was both with monitor on the intel one. in the bios, the multiscreen (i.e. powering of two video cards) is off.
So in the last setup, we finally have the igfx exposed. Can you please describe your symptoms now and attach your dmesg and Xorg.log?
BTW when I upgrade BIOS from 0812 to 1002, I am in the black on both cards if I don't set nomodeset on boot... do you want anything on that, X logs, lspci ?

I did boot again in nomodeset on kernel, I have console and X. Please find attached the files you requested,
Your BIOS is once again hiding the Intel GPU.
Hello, Do you want me to leave the shadow card and indicate in the bios to activate both ? or anything else ?
For the sake of argument, remove the discrete card and lets check that we can successfully drive the igfx (i.e. without any BIOS interference).
Hello, I've left the discrete card but asked the BIOS to use only iGPU (previsouly it was auto). I've had no boot image, and startx failed.

You have nomodeset which is not supported by the -intel driver, so it refuses to load.
Hello, here are new logs file without nomodeset. i950 appears in the boot, but failed to be started or deteected by Xorg -configure

Hello, I have a conf that works in X, need to see if I can get a console before. What I did: modify manually the X conf because both cards were seen by the OS making 6 screens... and then removing the nvidia to get intel glx. What still doesn't work is the right screen detection, with nvidia this was a correct CRT 19'', with intel it is 18'', I can tweak it with xrandr but it is 4 manual steps which is painfull, if you have a hint it is welcome... (monitor can do 1900x1200, optimal at 1600x1200@80Hz, detected till 1280x1024...) I attach X11 logs for you,

Ok, looks like we are starting to get somewhere. So the console is completely blank until X starts? That suggests we are not picking the right mode or have a training failure. Can you please attach a dmesg from boot with drm.debug=6 on the commandline? As for the mode failure in X, it appears to be due to this conflict: EDID: [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): Supported standard timings: [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): #0: hsize: 1600 vsize 1200 refresh: 80 vid: 21673 [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): Supported detailed timing: [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): clock: 260.0 MHz Image Size: 360 x 270 mm [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): h_active: 1600 h_sync: 1664 h_sync_end 1856 h_blank_end 2160 h_border: 17 [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): v_active: 1200 v_sync: 1201 v_sync_end 1204 v_blanking: 1250 v_border: 0 [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): [ 3320.888] (II) intel(0): Not using mode "1600x1200" (hsync out of range) If I remember correctly hsync, vrefresh ranges should be specified by the EDID, but you may be able to override with a monitor section in xorg.conf.

(In reply to comment #30) > If I remember correctly hsync, vrefresh ranges should be specified by the > EDID, but you may be able to override with a monitor section in xorg.conf. I did it, but at the moment, I've added the xrandr to an .xsession file and that is enough attached the debug dmesg,
Well, that is weird: [ 5.749524] [drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes], [CONNECTOR:9:VGA-1] probed modes : [ 5.749527] [drm:drm_mode_debug_printmodeline], Modeline 22:"1600x1200" 96 260000 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 0x40 0x5 The kernel computes the mode has a 96Hz vrefresh rate not the 80Hz given by the EDID.
That explains why I extracted the EDID gave me back this but it doesn't work. At 80 Mhz this work perfectly, manufacturer specs says 85Mhz but it doesn't seems to work. Previous nvidia didn't get this issue...
some things I've added to the grub startup without any result: drm.debug=6 text video=i915:modeset=1 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 pcie_aspm=force what if I add a vga=771 ? or a gfx mode supported ? GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024 That would help me get a console ? I still don't have anything after the grub login, so safe mode is still away for me...
Hello, any hint I could use to get a console ? is there a xrandr like command I could pass to the kernel ? I am now in 3.6.8 but I have often X freeze after gdm login, gnome gets up and then nothing, I can only move my mouse and nothing more... and since I cannot get a console I must reboot... X version: 1.12.4
Created attachment 70906 [details] X log
Nothing here suggests that you shouldn't have a console. Beware that your xf86-video-intel did not have the patches backported to make SNA stable on IVB GT1. So how are you trying to switch to a console, and how is it failing?
> So how are you trying to switch to a console, and how is it failing? since the kernel goes in frame buffer mode, I don't have any console (except in blind) so the alt+shift+F1 is possible but monitor goes off. > Beware that your xf86-video-intel did not have the patches backported to make SNA stable on IVB GT1. Is there a way to get a more stable one ? or one backported correctly ? I can go to some unstable for those drivers, it looks the mint ppa and so on exist, not on the debian wheezy, but if you point me what could be acceptable I can try there.
epierre, what are you trying to accomplish here? Do you want both devices to be active? Or do you just want an Intel configuration? For a dual card config, some BIOS support is currently necessary, since the i915 driver doesn't have code to configure and enable a disabled device. That means the BIOS has to configure the Intel device as the primary, and still allocate resources for the second device.
Hello, I don't want dual, I want the intel to get me a console... I've had to make up a raid 1 and work on the nvidia to have the console, then deactivate it in the bios to go back to the intel... this is not easy to live with and do maintenance operations without X... I've never run so far on BIOS dual card support... for I don't need it... I am either on "use iGPU" to have the intel or "auto" as reported earlier, that always shunt the intel. But in both mode, (iGPU or auto) I've never had a console on the intel. when I'll get a correct intel support I'll unplug the other one that I leave for maintenance.
Two things strike me as odd here: 1) I thought you were supposed to unplug the discrete card for getting the integrated graphics working, yet the dmesg says you have the nvidia module loaded. 2) It's a desktop system, right? The dmesg says there's LVDS and SDVO panel data in the video bios tables. Are you sure you have flashed the correct BIOS for your system? Please check these.
Hello, 1) I haven't removed it but it is disabled in the bios to use only internal, removing it would change something ? 2) lvds was a parameter at a time on the boot I tried from forum discussion but I don't have it anymore, do you want some more trace ? For bios there is only one existing from ASUS so 100% sure it is the right version. thanks, Emmanuel

I don't know if it would change anything, it's just guesswork. At least it still seems to show up as a PCI device even if disabled in BIOS, and the nvidia module gets loaded. I don't know what the nvidia binary blob does, and whether there are any interactions with the console. Perhaps you could blacklist it while debugging i915 issues. *shrug*. > 2) lvds was a parameter at a time on the boot I tried from forum > discussion but I don't have it anymore, do you want some more trace ?

I find it odd that there'd be such things on a desktop system, but then again nothing about BIOSes surprises me anymore.

(In reply to comment #45) > Created attachment 72753 [details] > recent dmesg in intel mode only Hello, looking at a more recent one there are lvds and sdvo but there is no newer BIOS from ASUS so I don't know if there is an issue here? do they mutualize BIOS features ?
(In reply to comment #46) epierre, could you check if you can still reproduce the problem with the latest drm-intel-nightly? There is a fix there for DP AUX IRQ problems showing up in your dmesg.
