Ok, hi Apostolos, as said already: A pity that (almost) nobody of all those others for whom it apparently works fine took the time to report, while there are always enough individuals interested in discussing "code of conduct" and worse pogroms.. Now that the only feedback anybody hears on-list about the i915 backport is "oh, doesn't work" it appears as if it is "instable crap", to quote certain well-known geniuses.
Nevertheless thanks for reporting and sorry that you are experiencing problems. Now, let's nail this issue: Yes, the same pciid 42 was already attched for the old ums i915: https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/6730577/ alias = pci8086,42 \ And yes, it should also still work with Oracle's newer driver designed for Solaris 12 that I backported to OpenSolaris. Your output below is a good beginning at best, but what's missing: *****Did you still test in 32bit mode, without 32bit i915/drm bins on the Hipster/Mate DVD?***** If yes, then it wonders little that you ended with what you call a "black screen", because as there is no 32bit compiled version of i915/drm included on the DVD, how would it work? Yesterday I stated already that it *is* possible to build old IA32 bins of i915/drm, and they are for download (together with the 64bit bins) here, as said: http://opensxce.org/intelkms_working_testbins/Intel_DRMxKMS_S12_to_Illumos_backport__RELEASE/01__GLOBAL/01__BINS/TAR/ They would already be part of the Illumos-gate and would by default get built for IA32 _and_ x64, if Illumos was anything related to what they claim to be (free bird and stuff). But history took different routes on scary alarming paths. So, that's why users of outdated hardware still running 32bit kernels have to perform the installation manually after the OS is installed in text mode following the steps as outlined in http://opensxce.org/intelkms_working_testbins/Intel_DRMxKMS_S12_to_Illumos_backport__RELEASE/01__GLOBAL/01__BINS/TAR/INSTALL.txt So to test them you need at least a USB stick or a growisofs or a hdd-installation (because otherwise you have a tough time copying any 32bit variant of i915/drm into the boot_archive on wrirte-protected media). You didn't send /var/log/Xorg.0.log*, You didn't send syslog You didn't send any more information, such as where does the "the screen is black" event happen. You did not say if you are now in 64bit mode off DVD, 32bit mode off DVD and if 64bit mode, why you first said you wanted to run it in 32bit mode. From your pciid I could now derive that this is: {0x8086, 0x42, CHIP_I9XX|CHIP_I965, "Intel IGDNG_D" }, \ so i965,and in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel-900-Serie that it appears to be: P965 [17] Broadwater 90 nm Q2 2006 ICH8 / ICH8R / ICH8-DH 533 / 800 / 1066 MHz 19 W 8 GB RAM DDR2-533/667/800 1.1 keine Q965 [18] Broadwater 90 nm Q2 2006 ICH8 / ICH8R / ICH8-DH 533 / 800 / 1066 MHz 19 W 8 GB RAM DDR2-533/667/800 1.1 GMA 3000 But as you didn't tell me more about your Netbook (not even its name, only its vendor), I can only *guess* if it is 64bit capable: PROBABLY NOT. So then again tell me how you can expect it to function with the current Hipster/Mate KMS LiveDVD, after I explained long and well *that* and *why* it does *not* contain IA32 bins for i915/drm? If you want to test my backport on your vintage hardware, then you need to perform the installation in text mode or vesa mode and then take the 32bit bins after installation from the link I provided. Again: http://opensxce.org/intelkms_working_testbins/Intel_DRMxKMS_S12_to_Illumos_backport__RELEASE/01__GLOBAL/01__BINS/TAR/ > When I try the live DVD on this machine I see a black screen. Did you read what I wrote yesterday already? NO 32bit bins of i915/drm on this current iso/DVD. %martin bochnig >Вторник, 6 сентября 2016, 14:23 UTC от Apostolos Syropoulos ><asyropou...@yahoo.com>: > >Hello, > >As I reported yesterday I have tested the live DVD on a system that has an >Intel processor. >The system is running a pre-KMS version of Xorg where the i915 is working. >Here are the details: > >node name: display >Vendor: Intel Corporation >Device: Core Processor Integrated Graphics >Controller >Sub-Vendor: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. >binding name: pci8086,42 >devfs path: /pci@0,0/display@2 >bus addr: 2 >pci path: 0,2,0 >compatible name: >(pci8086,42.1043.8383.18)(pci8086,42.1043.8383)(pci1043,8383)(pci8086,42.18)(pci8086,42)(pciclass,030000)(pciclass,0300) >driver name: i915 >instance: 0 >driver state: Attached >ddi-no-autodetach: 1 >fm-errcb-capable: TRUE >fm-ereport-capable: TRUE >primary-controller: 1 >ddi-kernel-ioctl: TRUE >pci-msi-capid-pointer: 90 >acpi-namespace: _SB_.PCI0.GFX0 >assigned-addresses: 83001010 >reg: 1000 >compatible: pci8086,42.1043.8383.18 >model: VGA compatible controller >power-consumption: 1 >fast-back-to-back: TRUE >devsel-speed: 0 >interrupts: 1 >max-latency: 0 >min-grant: 0 >subsystem-vendor-id: 1043 >subsystem-id: 8383 >device_type: display >unit-address: 2 >class-code: 30000 >revision-id: 18 >vendor-id: 8086 >device-id: 42 > > > >When I try the live DVD on this machine I see a black screen. >In the file driver_aliases that Martin supplied ther was the >following entry: > > >i915 "pci8086,42" > >I guess but I am not sure that the graphics hardware should work. >Is there anything I can do to help resolve this problem? > >A.S. > >---------------------- >Apostolos Syropoulos >Xanthi, Greece _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
