Intel driver doesn't get automatically selected by Xorg
Hello list, first post here \o/ The question is about drivers for Intel HD Graphics 3000 rev 0x09 (not a hybrid with some nVIDIA nonsense). When I run X, I get the following result (from Xorg.0.log): ``` [ 42880.697] (II) LoadModule: intel [ 42880.698] (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so [ 42880.702] (II) Module intel: vendor=X.Org Foundation [ 42880.702]compiled for 1.14.5, module version = 2.99.910 [ 42880.702]Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 42880.702]ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 14.1 [ 42880.702] (II) LoadModule: vesa [ 42880.704] (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/vesa_drv.so [ 42880.712] (II) Module vesa: vendor=X.Org Foundation [ 42880.712]compiled for 1.14.5, module version = 2.3.3 [ 42880.712]Module class: X.Org Video Driver [ 42880.712]ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 14.1 [ 42880.712] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, GM45, 4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43 [ 42880.713] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) HD Graphics: 2000-5000 [ 42880.713] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics: 5100 [ 42880.713] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Pro Graphics: 5200 [ 42880.713] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa [ 42880.714] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa [ 42880.716] (--) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 ``` As we can see, it correctly selected candidate i915 then reported that it supports chips from 2000 to 5000 and still it falls back to vesa. Is that a configuration issue? Is that a known issue? Any help is appreciated.

Maybe OpenBSD will not be ok about some of them or will be ok about all of them, but you need to try.

Re: Intel driver doesn't get automatically selected by Xorg
Wow, I didn't catch it. It's kinda shocking. Is there any data bank regarding Thinkpads, it's BIOS and OpenBSD?

Yes, in my head and on Internet :-) 1) Checked your dmesg 2) Saw issue with cpu 3) Checked BIOS in your dmesg 4) Went to http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT073274 5) Open readme for latest BIOS as Lenovo is providing details there even for older BIOSes (and probably not all fixes mentioned) 6) Voila :-) As VGA is integrated with CPU and you have issues with your CPUs based on dmesg and some of those BIOSes are fixing stuff with CPU you really need to try fix your BIOS first. And for example BIOS 2.51 is fixing this - (Fix) Fixed an issue that Intel AES-NI is always disabled. which is something you really want on OpenBSD.
Re: Intel driver doesn't get automatically selected by Xorg
Dear Tomaš, thank you so much for your support, thanks to you I felt encouraged to finally update my BIOS. It solved the driver problem (and by the looks of it, improved fan performance, but it's handwaving); however as far as I can tell from dmesg and system performance, only one core is used still. If you have any great hints or suggestions about how to proceed, please share those. New Xorg.0.log (initial issue resolved): http://f.nn.lv/n5/7h/yq/Xorg.0.log New dmesg output (still only one CPU found): http://f.nn.lv/n5/7h/zi/dmesg.full

I see you compile the kernel by yourself, GENERIC.MP is what you want. - Ben On 05/07/14 15:40, Manuel Pages wrote: Dear Tomaš, thank you so much for your support, thanks to you I felt encouraged to finally update my BIOS.

Re: Intel driver doesn't get automatically selected by Xorg
Rebuilding kernel helped. Now I run -current MP kernel and everything works like a charm. Much love and gratefulness to you, Tomash.

When I run X, I get the following result (from Xorg.0.log): [...] [ 42880.713] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) HD Graphics: 2000-5000 [ 42880.713] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics: 5100 [ 42880.713] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Iris(TM) Pro Graphics: 5200 [ 42880.713] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa [ 42880.714] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa As we can see, it correctly selected candidate i915 then reported that it supports chips from 2000 to 5000 and still it falls back to vesa. No, it doesn't. It tries to load different drivers in order to pick the best one for the job, and the Vesa driver logs some information, just as the Intel one did before it. And then your log continues with: [ 42880.716] (--) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 Which shows the intel driver has been selected. Miod
