Feature changed by: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) Feature #307139, revision 11 Title: Enable KMS for Intel Graphics cards openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stephan Kulow (coolo) reject date: 2009-08-12 11:02:48 reject reason: see comments. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Kshitij Kulshreshtha (polyconvex) Description: Since in the Intel Graphics Release 2009Q2 kernel modesetting is the recommended method, please enable CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS in the kernel config. In the current factory kernel (August 03) CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is set even though the code is considered unstable and depends on CONFIG_STAGING, however the more stable and recommended CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is not set. Please enable this option too. Discussion: #1: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-08-12 10:36:48) Stefan, could you comment on this, please? #2: Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) (2009-08-12 10:56:07) We didn't enable KMS for radeon by intention. See Bug #527910 for more details. #3: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-08-12 11:02:41) kms support is in our kernels, CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is about the default and we won't change the default not yet. Boot with i195.modeset=1 if you know your machine supports it. For those machines we might add it automatically, but not via kernel default. #4: Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) (2009-08-12 11:11:05) KMS on my 945GM machine at home still gave me a black screen last time I tried (Kernel 2.6.30, xorg-server 1.6.2, xf86-video-intel 2.8.0, libdrm 2.4.11, Mesa 7.5.0) whereas UMS works. Thus I'm not sure whether we want to make KMS the default now. I'm going to try again with latest X/Kernel stack soon. #5: Stefan Dirsch (sndirsch) (2009-08-13 02:39:50) Apparently KMS on 945GM improved a lot with latest X.Org/Kernel (xorg- server 1.6.3/Kernel 2.6.31-rc5). No longer black screen. Even switching to Linux console and back works. I'm trying to use this one regularly now. #6: Ruchir Brahmbhatt (ruchir) (2009-08-14 21:54:28) It would be nice to make it default if it seems stable enough. #7: Matthias Hopf (mhopf) (2009-08-17 12:02:35) (reply to #6) How many different systems have actually been tested successfully so far? Your statement is pretty bold... But we should consider to make KMS the default on i915,i945, i965, and G33. I haven't tested G33 yet, though. i8** are IMHO too little tested, maybe they don't work at all, i815 at least probably doesn't work. + #8: Rastislav Krupansky (ra100) (2009-09-30 12:32:01) + Any progress here for M8? Can we expect enabled KMS (especially i´m + interested in i915) Or still should i activate by adding i915. + modeset=1? And i´d like to ask, how about is with UXA? Is it default + already? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307139
