#i915 — Public Fediverse posts

@chesheer Yep! I'm using #X11 since the same time and saw:

- Kernel panic because of #Nvidia drivers

- Strange glitches and system freeze because of #intel #i915 drivers (in combination with #Libreboot and probably dying #GPU )

– Lagging interface in ~2006, because I've just installed #Radeon drivers and didn't configure 3D accel in #xorgconf

- #XServer ? Lol, it just works all the time :dragnsarc: Even when manual xorg.conf configuration were replaced by HAL, then by evdev...

Friday seems like a good day to see if I can build #i915 drivers into my #arm64 kernel. #nativecontext #testing

Further testing @elementary I am very happy I eventually could fix the annoying "hanging screen" bug, which was due to a bug of the #i915 graphics driver. Now the whole experience is a lot better thanks to the great hint of @mikael I only read by chance.

Now I hope the remaining glitches of the very important #AppCenter and #SoftwareUpdates parts are fixed before release of #OS8, because they don't seem stable enough to me right now.

@yngmar I have (had?)the #i915 “random” freezing issue in #Fedora, on my old x260, but no need to disable speedstep. Just turn off Panel Self Refresh, and that should be it. Add `i915.enable_psr=0` to your kernel settings in Grub as per https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=246841&p=2 .

This is the source for #intel #i915 #sriov support using #dkms . Just wish support was in the OOTB kernels - not yet.

Even though the host is seemingly working, it's a bit fragile as will need rebuilding for each kernel update (pinned for now)

Anyone gone through this with the #n100 ? Surely there must be others?

Prior to this I tried full GPU passthrough (ie full device passthrough, not virtual gpu) , but couldn't get it to work reliably.

Can someone tell me, why #i915 fails with #DRM issues, and starts with a black screen after #Grub - sometimes? Sending the system to sleep (standby) and waking resolves the black-screen.

Ruling out hardware failure, because:
- Leap 15.5 didn't have this issue (5.14 kernel).
- Leap 15.6 started having this issue (6.4 kernel).

#Linux #Fedora #OpenSuse #Debian

The fight of an #Optimus driven Notebook is one between the collective idiocy of the #nvidia ko and #i915 ko writers.

My dmesg is spammed with non-stop LSCON errors, and despite back and forth between both #nvidia and #intel DRM/KMS people, there is no solution. #linux.

When I force #AV1 on #Youtube, Firefox doesn't play the video (youtube says it's not supported). And yet, AV1 on Firefox's settings is ON, hardware acceleration in general is ON, and vainfo says that AV1 is supported by my #Intel #A310 card (#i915 driver), and yet youtube doesn't work with #Firefox in conjunction to AV1. VP9/h.264 do work, but I wanted AV1 (h264ify didn't help btw). #Debian Testing here, with Firefox-ESR 115.19.9esr. Any clues?

#linux #opensource #foss #video

I used to have OOM problems when attaching an external #LG 27UD68p-B monitor to my #Dell #XP15 #linux #laptop, but latest #drm #intel #i915 kernel changes (on drm-tip in git) _seem_ to have fixed this issue!

(this is the 'Direct Rendering Manager' DRM, not the 'Digital Rights/Restrictions Manager' DRM ;) )
