new cooking xorg intel

hi. just installed New Cooking 20110329  on an acer aspire 3515 and xorg-xf86-video-intel driver does not work. caused black screen. Is this a bug or just acer hardware related? The previous xorg intel driver version 2.7.1 worked great.

cheers.

Hi,

It works well here. Sometimes, I have a black screen at boot because brightness set to 0 just after loading the module; it's a known problem related to acpi & my hardware (eeepc 1005PE). Using keys to change brightness allow me to get display back. Another way is to add [c]acpi_osi=Linux[/c] into the boot config at kernel line. Maybe the same thing happens to you?

during boot, the driver loads, then the boot text shrinks to tiny and covers the left 1/2 of the screen, then black if that makes sense.

Re: new cooking xorg intel

I had same problem with nouveau which is a drm module for nvidia card.

After I removed linux-drm I was able to get a 2D screen with the nv driver.

Kernel 2.6.37 has CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y

Maybe removing linux-drm will at least give you a 2D screen.

With some kernels adding nomodset or modset=0 to bootcode or blacklisting the drm module will stop the kernel from autoloading it and give you a screen.

Google "intel nomodeset" for more information.
