[oi-dev] Screen distorted with new i915 driver

[Alexander Jung]

Hello Martin,


sorry for the delay, but i was changing residence and there where no 
possibility to do your tasks.
But no the situation has changed ...

In BIOS i can only change display settings, i tested with graphics 
device Integrated Graphics (Intel) and Discrete Graphics (Nvidia) and 
with Nvidia Optimus with OS detection for optimus enabled and disabled.
While i choose intel graphic there is no external monitor, only for 
nvidia, but that's another problem.

So with intel graphics or nvidia optimus the inteldriver don't work, the 
screen is always distorted, with and without custom configured 
xorg.conf, only vesa is working.
Disabling DRI and hw-acceleration and change resolution also don't 
change anything.

The same behaviour with solaris11.3


Best regards,
Alex




PS: I do not use windows at all ;)
