dmesg log

Hi all,

after updating to sys-fs/udev-182, sys-apps/kmod-7 and sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5-r3 my framebufferconsole switches to black right after udev is loaded. my system however is still responsive and I can fire up X after a "blind login".

a closer look at dmesg shows that two lines regarding drm/framebuffer are not shown up AFTER the update:

fbcon: inteldrmfb (fb0) is primary device
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 200x56

dmesg, kernel config and emerge-info attached.

any clues?

thanks and regards
dieter

kernel config

[Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2012-03-29 11:54:21 UTC]

Seems more like a configuration problem, than a real bug.

When are you loading modules from FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE and DRM_I915 ?

[Comment 3 mummenschanz 2012-03-29 12:38:22 UTC]

Hi,

thanks for the fast reply. I've compiled both FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE and DRM_I915 as modules. To ensure they are loaded in the right sequence I've put modules="fbcon" in my /etc/conf.d/modules but this didn't change anything. How can I see when exactly those modules are being loaded?

Thanks
Dieter

Is the /etc/init.d/modules service run at boot?

[Comment 5 mummenschanz 2012-03-29 15:22:09 UTC]

It looks like it is:

gonzo / # rc-update add modules boot
 * rc-update: modules already installed in runlevel `boot'; skipping

or do I have to add the service as default?

It should do fine in the boot runlevel. I guess this is an openrc problem (since the kernel says nothing about loading the fbcon module).

[Comment 7 William Hubbs 2012-05-05 19:10:19 UTC]

Please set rc_logger="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, reboot then attach
/var/log/rc.log.

Also check if this is still valid with udev-189
