 |
|
My video card is Intel Mobile 945GM which is an embedded video card. The screen looks like it is running with a piece of broken RAM. Anybody encounter the same issue?
If I go back to 2.6.37, everything just is fine. Hope the new intel video driver(xf86-video-intel-2.15) will fix this issue.

Hello!
I have a similar problem with 2.6.38, but with an nvidia card.
It looks like black color is broken =)))
Actually, after running some hw-accelerated stuff (flash, quake,...) part of my
screen keeps random garbage for black color.
I've created video with my camera and put it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RRUjo9re6s
Other effects are corrupted fonts.
Does anybody knows where to start debugging from? 
Maybe some settings can be tuned for the driver?

Everything seems normal here
| Code: |
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1252
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at feb80000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
I/O ports at ec00 [size=8]
Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at feb40000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: i915
|
2.6.38 and everything runs smooth.
Edit:
Bit of a noob most of the time but "agpart-intel" as driver? |

Could you please paste the output of "eselect mesa list"? Have you enabled modeset?
Thank you |

eselect mesa list

r600 (Radeon R600-R700, Evergreen)
sw (Software renderer)

As for the modeset; I've no idea. Still reading up on what it is
Edit:
Hope this is it:
| Code: |
grep I915 /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y

Screenshots clear things up.
I'm seeing sort of the same thing but only on Thunderbird and then only for half a second when I open it.
Everything else works fine. I wasn't bothered by it very much and considered it a Thunderbird bug and was planning to recompile it. |

I have no I915 in kernel (2.6.38-gentoo-sources):
| Code: | # grep I915 /usr/src/linux/.config
komputronik / # |
What should I do? My kernel config is here |

Remove all FB drivers (FB_UVESA, FB_VESA, FB_LE8057), you don't need FB_MODE_HELPERS and FB_TILEBLITTING either.
Then activate AGP and AGP_INTEL, and you'll be able to select DRM_I915 and DRM_I915_KMS |
