[OpenIndiana-discuss] Nobody for whom OI/Hipster Mate on i915/KMS is working fine wants to report?

Hello,

As I reported yesterday I have tested the live DVD on a system that has an Intel processor.
The system is running a pre-KMS version of Xorg where the i915 is working. Here are the details:

device-id:                          42

 

When I try the live DVD on this machine I see a black screen.
In the file driver_aliases that Martin supplied ther was the
following entry:


i915 "pci8086,42"

I guess but I am not sure that the graphics hardware should work.
Is there anything I can do to help resolve this problem?
