Since this also kills recovery and text-only mode, could we put back the
previous method of loading it in the initramfs, or would that be
inappropriate now?

Hello,
I've this bug with my Asus laptop, I wan't to try the tip of "i915.modeset=0"
but how to do this ?
It seems easy for you, but I can't. I've a message "GRUB LOADING", I try to

boot and hangs with the black scree

Yes, it does that, but it works anyway. The reason is that at the

Would it make sense to make fbcon a dependency of i915 (and similar KMS
modules for other hw)?

It looks like I don't get KMS unless fbcon is in in /etc/initramfs-
tools/modules .
In order to test it:
put fbcon in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
and type:
sudo update-initramfs -k all -c
and reboot.

How do I give the i915.modeset=0 statement correctly? I tried in GRUB to
modify the command with button C and E, typed the i915.modeset=0 in
different places, but this doesn‘t seem to change the situation. After

@Scott
fbcon is loaded by the -intel driver by i830_kernel_mode_enabled() in
src/i830_driver.c:
ret = drmCheckModesettingSupported(busIdString);
if (ret) {
if (xf86LoadKernelModule("i915"))
ret = drmCheckModesettingSupported(busIdString);
}
/* Be nice to the us
I have the same problem but the i915.modeset=0 fix doesn't work for me.

If you enter commands in blind like :

So the pro
Alberto,
Can you take a look and see if you can help Scott see what is going on?

I'd like to understand how fbcon is getting loaded at the moment, since
I can't find any logic that actually does this - but it's clearly loaded
by the time X starts.
Then I'd like to figure out how we can make fbcon automatically loaded
when we need it *properly*, rather than putting a hack in.
