HI Nikola,
Aurelien mentions:"VT console switching cannot work until somebody works on the i915 *kernel* driver. This has been the case since we got the KMS intel driver integrated."
Hope to supply a newer Intel kernel update soon after the next snapshot release. 
 
Nikola mentions:"On Dell D620 laptop, i have, since April (bug introduced between January and April), problem with illumos, with large CPU use of a random running process on the machine that gets stuck for tens of seconds with high cpu use for no reason, making whole system pretty much unusable."
There was a illumos submitted patch that mentioning fixing (somewhat) a 'related' high CPU issue.
Set up a Xorg.conf file to disable HW acceleration for the Intel GPU (Option 'Accel' off) using the intel driver. You can create on another tested platform and just use it with the option mentioned to see if you get the same issue. Note: This means we are not using the vesa driver for any testing info. Test your VT consoles and check for CPU issues. Let us know.
Thanks,Ken

  Hi Nikola, 
  Please retry.

 I retried after I supposedly changes landed.
 I don't see the point of testing, when I think newer intel driver already landed the same day on /hipster repository yesterday?
(https://hipster.openindiana. org/jenkins/job/oi-userland/ 3476/changes)


The xorg-video-intel update is minor as the UXA backend is barely touched since 2015, so it does not affect users.
The testing part was more for Xorg itself, namely input devices.

 
 
 I am on 945 graphics it works even if there is NO xorg.conf (to set up vesa use) , I suppose newer driver is used then.
 ( $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 Section "Device"
         Identifier "Card0"
         Driver     "vesa"
 EndSection )
 Everything seems ok, yet VT console switching does not work when not using vesa, (screen gets white, like pre-exposed on VT switching with Ctrl+Alt+Fn , F7 is to get back to X), but it can get back to X right on F7. I haven't tried yet playing video.


VT console switching cannot work until somebody works on the i915 *kernel* driver. This has been the case since we got the KMS intel driver integrated.
 
 
 Beside that., on my Core2Duo 5600 on Dell D620 laptop, i have, since April (bug introduced between January and April), problem with illumos, with large CPU use of a random running process on the machine that gets stuck for tens of seconds with hight cpu use for no reason, making whole system pretty much unusable.


Firefox has become very slow due to their recent changes to multithreaded.
 

 
 Also fonts seems too small on mine 14" 16:10 laptop screen with 1440X900 resolution upon login
 I aether need to set DPI level on 122 manually in font settings to make it more readable or I need to sent default font size form 8 to 9. I think the first is better.
 
 If I use vesa in xorg.conf, then everything seems to work, including VT switching (except not tested video yet)
 
 I personally don't see why testing communication shouldn't be online and seen by other testers on the mailing list.


I wanted feedback first from Alexander and Ken before calling for testing. I do not like wasting people's time with half-baked updates.


 
 Also don't understand unneeded restrictions on lowering mailing list number and see barring people from posting to the mailing list as bad practice.
 I suggest also forming new 'oi-testing' mailing list to share testing results, beside openindiana-discuss and oi-dev.
 We also had many different mailing lists , yet Adam Stevko (xenol) disabled all of them awhile ago.
 --search-first 
 Down there are posted update commands and their output with '--search-first ' as a solution for updating testing BE.



Interesting, I did not know this option. I usually change the priority with -P.

Thanks for your help

Aurelien

What's there to test? pkg dont' see updated packages there. (see update 
tries below)
 I guess you should set the xorg-testing repository at a higher priority than openindiana.org.
 If not please set the pkg to verbose mode to see which constraint blocks the update.
 People who tested the build reported success so far.
