[OpenIndiana-discuss] new install vertical line in display

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hi,

Linux mate user here new to OpenIndiana/Solaris. Just installed on my Dell
> Latitude e5420 laptop.


Your graphic adapter should be Intel HD 2000/3000, is it correct?

Sandy Bridge chipset support in drm/i915 currently shipped by Hipster is
not complete.
In particular it misses backports of some fixes which were committed later
in the Linux tree >= 2014: most notably workarounds of hw bugs and edid
updates.

There is a new version of drm/i915 currently in testing for OI.
Could you try one of the following images and see if it improves the
situation?

In any case your can open a ticket:

and attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Thank you

Aurélien
