[OpenIndiana-discuss] Selecting wrong video driver

[Till Wegmueller]

Hi,

nvidia and modesettings messages are not from X11 but rather from the 
kernel trying all drivers when It does not find a card.

Note that we are not a FreeBSD based OS thus assumptions about the card 
simply working cannot be made. I am currently updating our libdrm 
version and then mesa and so on. If you can get me the pci id of your 
intel card from `prtconf -v` I can check if it is supported. Or if 
additional work will be required. That additional work being porting 
kernel bits from FreeBSD or other sources (our original driver is from 
linux)

Stack updates are necesary anyway though as DRI support for and the 
userland parts are part of the mesa sources, which I am working on at 
the moment.

Your Symptoms look like your card is simply not supported. Running the 
ddu utility from pkg:/diagnostic/ddu in the terminal should give further 
information. Using vesa as the driver should also help.
