standart vesa driver handles everything just fine.

Hi Reptile,
Is the last rolling a vesa driver ? because now it works
At least something appears on the screen. But no way to output on an external screen , neither to change the screen resolution ... 
Offline
is it normal that i have screen0 , screen1 , screen2 , screen3
(and same for devices, monitor) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ?
I've got an hybrid Intel HD Haswell + Radeon 8850m in my laptop , should I turn off one of them at boot ? What can I do ?

Linux/BSD allows you to have, if I remember rightly, 12 screens (VT,s) by default, usually 8 are configured, but this can be tweeked.
Most window manager/desktop environments have 4 desktops configured by default, again, this can be changed.
It isn't like MS Windows, it is a much more flexible OS - with lots to learn if you want to.
> Linux/BSD allows you to have, if I remember rightly, 12 screens (VT,s) by default, usually 8 are configured, but this can be tweeked.
The linux kernel supports up to 63 (1..63) VT.
VT 1 to 6 are text (# grep getty /etc/inittab), X11 may use VT 7 or more (you can start more X servers)
# conspy -f 1
# conspy -f 2
...
# conspy -fcs 8
# conspy -fcs 63
# chvt 63

@vergote "Is the last rolling a vesa driver ? because now it works"
no last rolling seems to be with wayland... quite interesting...
Offline
somehow not true - sorry I mixed it up - only wayland was cooked not included in the iso....

I'm ready to to do a step by step process with one of you and give the output. I think it may be usefull for slitaz's prospectives as i'm the owner of the lastest intel cpu coupled with an extra graphic chip ; this seems to be a new trend among laptop constructors.
Offline
please post the output of lspci -nnvv
most of theese laptops have 2 grafic cards - an intel + nvida or amd
at least the intel card you should get easy
boot with the option "screen=text" log in - get root and run tazx and select the intel driver log out to tux with "exit" and startx

For the second step, it's already done and then, did the first step after
Offline
so I guess the intel card is working correctly ???
for the hybrid grafics - I think, it should work - switcheroo is built in the kernel
3340 CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y
for the ati grafic card this should be installed
firmware-radeon
xorg-xf86-video-ati
mesa
mesa-dri
mesa-dri-ati
mesa-demos
more info you get in the Arch Wiki

Hi Kultex,
1° The basic vesa in the rolling works but no extra resolution in lxrandr neither external screen available
2° and I've installed all the intel stuff "xorg-video-intel" with it's dependencies and made of it a new iso. Reboot. But same problem than before (don't even know if it's still vesa render ? how I can I know ?)
3° did the same than point 2° but for xorg-xf86-video-ati (and all dependencies)
tazx leads to a configuration but xorg error
Offline
within my iso with intel , i just install all the packages you suggest for ati and then did a tazx in a terminal with ati choice

ok, first try to remove xorg-xf86-video-fbdev + xorg-xf86-video-vesa, before you install the intel driver

I organiced the touring laptop from the theatre, which has a dual grafic chip with intel + nvidia and I just end up with a black screen and I dont come out - so at the moment I can not help you - first I have to solve this on this laptop.
Offline
thanks Kultex for helping. Don't forget that disabling the extra gpu could be a solution and the possibilty to connect an external screen on the vga is the effective goal
Offline
disabeling the extra gpu I think is not possible - at least with the laptop I have. I wanted to do this already in windows, because the intel card makes problems with isadora.
but in general, we have to finde a solution for those dual grafic laptops - it would be nice, if you could stay on this tread - because next week I hope I find some time to look into it
Offline
all right, and you can even create a sticky topic to call and invite other slitaz users using dual graphic laptops too
