Reply to a message On *Sun Oct 18 01:13:21 UTC 2* At this time I came across with your question while searching FreeBSD mailing archives.

Loading i915kms like this is known to cause a hang early in boot with a black screen. In the hope this will be useful to you, thanks. bruno ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------ *On Sun Oct 18 01:13:21 UTC 2 you wrote* Hi! Today I tried my luck with the new i915 driver following the instructions onhttps://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/Update%20i915%20GPU%20driv= er%20to%20Linux%203.8 I updated the whole system from 10.1-RELEASE to -CURRENT about 3 weeks ago, including a full port rebuild followed by make delete-old[-libs]. So t= his should be clean enough for testing. The only basic thing I had to change was putti= ng hint.agp.N.disable=3D1 in /boot/loader.conf (with N either 0 or 1). Otherwi= se I get a panic when agp loads. This used to work in 10.1-RELEASE. Since this machine is qu= ite dated, I haven't found the strength to do a bisect to find the culprit. I decided = to better wait until after I passed the differential equations test next month before I embark o= n that journey. :) Now for my test with the updated i915kms: - kldload'ing i915kms works (well, at least it doesn't panic as it does on CURRENT head) - trying to startx with the xorg.conf I used on 10.1 RELEASE leads to a pan= ic Find attached: * dmesg output * xorg.conf * core.txt of the panic If you need additional logs or want me to try something else, just ask. Thanks for your continuous work on this, Jean-S=C3=A9bastien! Bye, Andreas -------------- next part -------------- <attachments> [...]
