Hello,
I installed Beowulf amd64 netinst and then installed Xorg and
openbox with apt-get. Startx grinds for a while then exits with
an error. Here is the end of the Xorg.0.log file:
[261220.123] (==) modeset(0): DPI set to (96, 96)
[261220.123] (II) Loading sub module "fb"

Is this running inside a VM, or are you perhaps just lacking the
drivers for the GPU?
libre Grüße,
Florian

Hi,
No VM, it is just a fresh install on a new MB and new hard drive.
If it needed special drivers for video wouldn't there be a missing
firmware message? I believe some firmware for Ethernet is missing
but it works ok without it. What would GPU firmware do?
I just looked through dmesg log. It says:
i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin
is missing. This appears to be for runtime power management.
The network firmware:
rtl_nic/rt18168h-2.fw
is missing but the Ethernet is working ok.
Best regards,
Fred

Hi, did you install:
xserver-xorg-video-intel
X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver ?

Hi,
I received a reply off list on how to find the missing
skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin. It is in firmware-misc-nonfree which I installed.
I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel then rebooted and X started up like
magic!
Thanks for the help!
Best regards,
Fred
