(Solved) intel graphics card i915 & nomodeset

[vectis]

could you suggest a v3.0 kernel distro, I have only come across one so far but had no X

I have tried both 32 & 64-bit versions, both with the same result

I will give the 2.6.39.2 kernel update a try and report back.

Thanks so far.

Vectis.

Parted Magic should be ok (and has 3.0 kernel):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedm ... o/download
let me know if that worked for you

EDIT:\\
seems that i have found a temporary workaround:

Code: Select all

solved by adding a /etc/rc.local
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00

To adjust the brightness to add to the kernel line:
acpi_osi=Linux

try that

Good for you.

Usually Intel components are readily accepted with the linux kernel .

I agree with francois
Normally, Intel hardwares works without problems with Linux Kernel.

That fixed it, thanks for your help Fanthom!

So,may we conclude that you now work with Porteus?

Yes. I enjoyed using Slax for many years but as development seems to have stopped, I think it is time to move on.

[francois]

It was my conclusion too.
