 Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 10:20 am Post subject: Intel graphic adapter - black screen [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello, I installed Gentoo on my new computer, my motherboard (ASROCK AD2550B-ITX) is equipped with an integrated graphic adapter (GMA3600), I included the support on the kernel, but just after the boot my monitor switch to powersave mode and I can use the computer only through an ssh client. When I try to start the X server it fails with the "no screens found" error.
lspci -v :
| Code: | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

<*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --->
<*> Intel GMA5/600 KMS Framebuffer
[*] Intel GMA3600/3650 support (Experimental) |
Have you any ideas how I can solve this problem?

Considering gfx_gma500 is a modesetting driver, this would effectively disable the entire driver. nomodeset is *never* a solution.
@piero.turra: I have only one piece of advice - sell that thing and buy something with a proper GPU. And I mean that fully seriously. The GMA3600 isn't an Intel GPU, it's a PowerVR one. There's no spec available for it, only a closed source driver that sorta, maybe could work with ancient kernels and X servers, but I don't know anyone who actually got it to work. The gfx_gma500 driver is modesetting-only, there's no acceleration whatsoever. If you want to know more, search around for CedarView. But again, get rid of this thing and buy something Haswell-based or BayTrail-based. Haswell and BayTrail are proper Intel GPUs with full open-source support.
PS. If you do get the gfx_gma500 driver running, it's meant to be used with the xf86-video-modesetting X driver. |

| Ensure that you have CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE enabled in your kernel, and if it is built as module, that it is loaded during boot (via /etc/conf.d/modules). |

The CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE option is enabled and is not possible to change it (I'm using menuconfig).
this is the result of emerge --info

hey,
I also strugled with a similar intel graphics card. Since I couldn't get a proper solution, I'm now using a console tool for waking up the display.
| Code: |
/usr/sbin/vbetool dpms on
|
Of course, you need to install vbetool. After that, try to log in via ssh and issue the above command. In my case, the display is "waking up".

Unfortunately this command doesn't work for me, the screen remains sadly black. |

It is possible that the driver misdetects the supported resolution/refresh rate of your monitor. You can try passing video=1024x768 or similar kernel parameter in your boot loader.
About X, you need to have xf86-video-modesetting installed, or set VIDEO_CARDS="modesetting" in make.conf prior to emerging x11-base/xorg-drivers. |

| With the modesetting flag the X server starts correctly, and the monitor works when the X server is active. I tried some different video mode configurations but the screen remain black until the start of the X server. Anyway the system is usable so I will mark the discussion as solved. |

| You can try force enabling a particular output with the video= kernel parameter. See http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting/ at the bottom (applies to non-NVidia cards too). The list of outputs can be found in /sys/class/drm/card0/. |
