But not in either of xorg-docs_1:1.6-1 and xorg-docs-core_1:1.6-1, which seem to be the most current ones. And as I said the drm_i915 module is loaded with the 2.6.32-5-686 kernel, and the modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf entry is present as well, X still 'finds no screens' and thus aborts.

Bug#616086: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Arbitrarily crashes X
> "JC" == Julien Cristau writes: > Looks like you have disabled kms. Don't do that. Now how would I do that? In both my custom 2.6.30 and std debian 2.6.32-5-686 DRM_I915_KMS is not set -- and says: [...] will cause pain. [...] precludes loading things like intelfb. In 2.6.30 there is no DRM_KMS_HELPER. With the std debian kernel the kms_helper module is loaded automa[gt]ically, but makes no difference. xserver-xorg-video-intel up to and including 2:2.9.1-1 worked fine for me. Unfortunately I can't find that anywhere, thus am forced to use 2:2.3.2-2+lenny8 from oldstable, which somehow seems to me not to work as well (slowing things down). There's no mention of KMS anywhere in the X accompanying docs. Please convince me that Intel is NOT trying to produce a catchall for 915 different cards/chips, which practically only works on 50% of them -- or maybe just not on the one I have! Should you (hopefully) care to reply, please consider this as well: Would it be appropriate to create a new bugreport that reflects the actually described problem, or do we simply run on with the 'crashes X'-subject?

Believe it or not, I can't reproduce the behaviour. I must have upgraded some lib involved in this, and I'm sure I won't be able to re-establish the exact same software situation on my system, alas. Instead now the xserver-xorg-video-intel thing doesn't even start at all. No matter if on my custom kernel or std deb 2.6.32-5-686. Again, xserver-xorg-video-vesa works.

Moreover, squeeze's 2.6.32 has *a lot* of fixes backported from newer kernel releases, so yes, that makes a major difference in many cases.

Dear Julien, >> Version: 2:2.3.2-2+lenny8 > This doesn't correspond to the version in your log file below. Which is > it? Sorry for the mixup. I had in the meantime downgraded the driver to have a working X available. The video driver in question is: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.13.0-5 >> Linux version 2.6.30.bootlogd (2.6.30) (root@mash) (gcc version 4.3.4 >> (Debian 4.3.4-6) ) #1 Fri Sep 3 18:13:12 CEST 2010 > What is this kernel? Is the issue reproducible with the standard Debian > kernel? My kernel is a custom kernel of debian linux-source 2.6.30. I doubt that a standard debian kernel would make any difference, as the incriminated behaviour does NOT occur when using either xserver-xorg-video-fbdev or xserver-xorg-video-vesa drivers (they're just incredibly slow). Moreover all prerequisites according to the README files regarding kernel config are fulfilled. But should you insist -- I'm prepared to do the test.
