|
|
Making a fresh installation of Gentoo on a laptop with a "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P [Intel Graphics] (rev 08)" video card.
I am using a distribution kernel without any custom configuration tweaks and Xorg won't start with these errors in Xorg.0.log
Code: |
[ 24.054] (II) LoadModule: "modesetting"
[ 24.054] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so

I can see that the /dev/dri folder is indeed missing
I have installed linux-firmware but still have these messages in dmesg:

What could be wrong?
lsmod
dmesg
Xorg./0.log
Thank you! |

Welcome to Gentoo,
from your dmesg:
Code: | [ 3.769639] i915 0000:00:02.0: Your graphics device 7d45 is not properly supported by i915 in this
kernel version. To force driver probe anyway, use i915.force_probe=7d45
module parameter or CONFIG_DRM_I915_FORCE_PROBE=7d45 configuration option,
or (recommended) check for kernel updates. |

waterlaz,
Welcome to Gentoo
Your Xord.).log tells
Code: | [ 24.053] (--) PCI:*(0@0:2:0) 8086:7d45:17aa:2327 rev 8, Mem @ 0x4058000000/16777216, 0x4000000000/268435456, BIOS @ 0x????????/131072 |
That GPU needs DRM_XE in your kernel. It provides your missing /dev/dri/card0.
DRM_XE is a fairly new addition to the kernel and you have 6.6.74-gentoo-dist
cateee.net says Code: | lkddb pci 8086 7d45 .... .... 03.... : CONFIG_DRM_XE : drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_pci.c # in 6.8–6.13, 6.14-rc+HEAD | so you need at least a 6.8 kernel.
Your kernel is too old.
Unmask the testing kernel and try that. If testing makes you nervous, use the 6.12.y kernel. Its the next LTS kernel and will be stable on Gentoo once testing is complete.
Code: | [ 3.572479] intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: [drm] *ERROR*ls /librequest(): Failed to request firmware: -2
[ 3.572481] intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: [drm] *ERROR* ivpu_dev_init(): Failed to initialize firmware: -2 |
The firmware intel/vpu/vpu_37xx_v0.0.bin is not in my testing linux-firware yet, so that will neeh to be tracked down and installed too. _________________ Regards,

CooSee, NeddySeagoon, thank you!
6.13.3 did the trick for me. |
