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.
After much going round in circles, I found that all I had to do was to emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev. Why, on that machine and not on others, I can't imagine.
