A couple of months ago I wrote about trying to install oS 12.3 on a PC with intel Haswell graphics. I could not get it to work. X kept wanting to use fbdev instead. I never did sort that out and added an NVidia card instead.
Try 13.1 pre-RC1, that should work with this hardware.
Sigh. It is meant to be a production system. Of course, I can try to see if it works. But it is not a good solution.
I am guessing it must be the kernel and X11 that are the deciding factors.
Why not try Kernel:/stable/standard?
In X11:XOrg for 13.1, xf86-video-intel-2.99.902 is not the latest. 2.99.903 fixed my modes problem. Maybe mine was related to yours via included patch(es) and you just need to wait for the next 12.3 XOrg build to hit the mirrors?
I added Kernel:/stable/standard and updated the kernel and X11, and now it works! I have the following installed: kernel-desktop-3.11.3-1.1.gb1e6ec5.i686 xf86-video-intel-2.99.903-88.2.i586 xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.14.3-251.7.i586 I wish I had done it one step at a time so I knew which did the trick. My next step is to try to make a new KIWI/OEM image with these components and see if a new install from that goes as planned. Friday looks a small bit better than when it started. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer@ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
