[opensuse-factory] Booting 12.1 M3 succeeds only with nomodeset
Hi, I upgraded 12.1 M2 to M3 with Yast2. Kernel is now 3.0.0-rc7-2-desktop Booting it succeeds only using bootparameter nomodeset, otherwise a blank screen is the result. M2 booted OK, as does 11.4. Graphics hardware is a GeForce 8600 GT. I entered bug 707148 for this one. regards, Jogchum Reitsma -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I reported it on the 18th. Does your Xorg.0.log also report "all outputs disconnected" booting with KMS enabled? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

How did this get left at "RESOLVED" "WONTFIX" ? At least https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707110 got punted to the Kernel team. That looks like you caught the bug that affected the M3 Live CD's, 2 days before the ISO's were built and it just got dismissed.

Excuse my ignorance, but what means "KMS enabled"? Better said, what is KMS and how do I enable it? I searched Xorg.0.log, both after booting with or without nomodeset, but no such report. regards, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Kernel Mode Setting, a few releases ago things done previously by Xorg graphics driver began to be migrated into the kernel. It was possible to turn on IIRC in 11.2, but is enabled by defaut now, which is reason wny "nomodeset" boot parameter works and causes different graphics driver to be used. If you want to find more, I'd do a search on lwn.net which had good articles on the re-development of X graphics & reasons for doing it.

So many ways to report equivalent information makes searching to success often difficult. :-( In this case, some bug summary possibilities: 1-black screen 2-why screen is black (mine) 3-screen didn't unblack when expected (one meaning of your words) 4-nvidia/nouveau/nv X broken

Excuse my ignorance, but what means "KMS enabled"? Better said, what is KMS and how do I enable it?
Kernel Mode Setting, enabled by default since 11.3, disabled by nomodeset (in failsafe Grub stanzas), nouveau.modeset=0, i915.modeset=0 or similar.
I searched Xorg.0.log, both after booting with or without nomodeset, but no such report.
Does your 8600GT have both VGA, DVI and S-Video out ports? Mine has dual DVI only, works with or without DVI to VGA converter in Windows, works (IIRC) only with DVI cable in 11.4, never produces working X in 12.1 without nomodeset. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

So i take it that my "nomodeset" on the kernel command line is Kernel mode setting is. So my answer to your original question is no, I've no such line in Xorg.0.log.
I searched Xorg.0.log, both after booting with or without nomodeset, but no such report.

Indeed I have VGA, DVI and S-Video out ports. I use VGA and DVI (with an DVI-to-VGA adapter) simultaneously (dual screen, ergo). I don't have Windows, so I couldn’t possibly comment on that (to cite Francis Urquhard in The House of Cards). I'll try the patch by Johannes Obermayr, but not tonight anymore... regards, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Spoke too soon. Forgot to remove nomodeset from Grub cmdline. Behavior has not changed. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
