    Hello list,

    Would someone please remind me of what frame-buffer kernel settings I need for an i915 driver? I'm going round in circles, but whatever I try, this

    from that. I can see disk activity, and the machine responds to
    CTRL-ALT-DEL as expected; just no display.

    Have a look at this page in general, paying special attention to this section:

    Hello list,

    Would someone please remind me of what frame-buffer kernel settings I need for an i915 driver? I'm going round in circles, but whatever I try, this new
    laptop shows the initramfs-loaded message, then remains blank apart from that. I can see disk activity, and the machine responds to CTRL-ALT-DEL as expected; just no display.
