Hi! My attempts to run xf86-video-intel-2.6.{1,2} with xorg-server-1.5.3-r2 all result in a blank/black screen and it's not possible to switch VTs. Nevertheless I can login remote via ssh. xf86-video-intel-2.5.1-r1 works fine though (apart from minor screen corruptions). No console frame buffer drivers are running. The display is connected via DVI-D. Xorg log doesn't show any relevant errors (at least to me - will attach it). Using EXA or UXA didn't make any difference. Same goes for a test run without a xorg.conf (to check default settings). The machine in question is a stock DELL OptiPlex 745 with an i965 IGP. Thanks for looking into this. emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc23 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.28.7 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28.7-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_6400_@_2.13GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.3.8 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ " LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY=" " SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="64bit 7zip X X509 a52 aac accessibility acl acpi aiglx alsa amarok amd64 ao asf audiofile bash-completion bcmath bdf berkdb blas bluetooth bogofilter branding bzip2 cairo cblas ccache cdda cddb cdinstall cdr cdrom cdsound cern clamav clamd cli colordiff cpudetection cracklib crosscompile crypt cscope css ctype cups cupsddk dbus dirac divx djvu dmi dri dts dvb dvbplayer dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo fam fbcon ffmpeg fftw firefox firefox3 flac fortran fortran95 ftdi gd gdbm gfortran ggi gif gimp gimpprint glibc-compat20 glitz glut gnome gnuplot gphoto2 gpm grub gs gstreamer gtk gtk2 gvim gzip hal hddtemp hifieq iconv imagemagick imap ipv6 isdnlog jack jack-tmpfs java javascript jpeg kaspersky kde lame lapack latex ldap libnotify libsamplerate libvisual libwww lm_sensors logrotate mad maps md5sum midi mikmod mmx mmxext mng mod modplug mp3 mp4 mpeg mpeg2 mplayer mudflap multilib music mysql ncurses nfs nls nocd nptl nptlonly nsplugin nxclient ogg openal opendoc opengl openmp pam pango pcre pdf perl plotutils png posix ppds pppd ps python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime rar readline realmediareflection rogue samba sasl schroedinger science sdl session sockets sounds spell spl srt sse sse2 sse3 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg sysfs syslog tcl tcpd tetex theora threads tiff tk truetype unicode usb vcd vdr videos vim vim-pager vim-syntax vim-with-x vorbis wma wmf wmp wxwindows x264 xatrix xcb xcomposite xforms xine xml xorg xosd xpm xrandr xscreensaver xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache davdav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Looks like Xorg is segfaulting when probing the chipset. Could you use the keyword list from bug #251832 to make sure you're using the latest version of all important X packages? Thanks
I just emerged all packages according to the current x11.stable.list omitting the driver section. Drivers were rebuild using emerge `qlist -I -C x11-drivers` afterwards. This includes xf86-video-intel-2.6.3 now. Unfortunately this wasn't successful. Symptoms are still as described previously. Thanks again!

I did a git bisection and ended up on the following commit: commit 934008a2cbcec0c790580750c672c0367a9e4c55 Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Date: Tue Jan 6 10:55:59 2009 -0800 Always enable KMS if server's new enough, and remove option. The API should be stable at this point, and we don't want to allow mistakes. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=934008a2cbcec0c790580750c672c0367a9e4c55 Still on 2.6.28.7 (vanilla), no KMS patches whatsoever. Apart from the minor update to xorg-server-1.5.3-r3 all other x11 packages are have been unchanged. I couldn't perform a check against HEAD as a simple 'git revert <rev>' was not possible. No bug report filed to upstream so far.
Please file a bug upstream, there's nothing else I can do to help you solve this. Don't forget to paste the url here so I can track it. Thanks
reported upstream: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20564
Thanks, let's track the bug upstream then.
Reopening
And closing with the proper resolution. Thanks
