[Bug 427342] Re: intel driver not autodetected

 

Okay, as having an integrated intel graphic chipset, I expect it to be
used :)

The first log was copied right after a fresh install of kamic on the
first xserver bootup. xorg.conf didn't exist as usual. As I understand
it, the xserver must autodetect its drivers then. Here I think something
goes wrong:

[...]
(II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
	compiled for 1.6.3, module version = 2.8.1
	Module class: X.Org Video Driver
	ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0
(II) LoadModule: "i810"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module i810
(II) UnloadModule: "i810"
(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "vesa"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vesa_drv.so
[...]

He tried to load the intel driver, couldn't find a module and loaded
vesa instead as fallback, right?

Next I just made a symlink named "i810_drv.so" pointing to
"intel_drv.so". This was just a test, as I thought he might have
searched for "i810_drv" because the module is "i810". It didn't work and
was _not_ expected to:

[...]
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//i810_drv.so
(EE) LoadModule: Module i810 does not have a i810ModuleData data object.
(II) UnloadModule: "i810"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//i810_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (invalid module, 0)
[...]

Finally I forced using the intel driver by creating a small xorg.conf
and made it immutable (chattr +i) to prohibit any changes X may do.
Obviously now I expected him to use the intel driver and as long as I
see in the logs, he did.

I hope this helps...
