While gathering information to post in Bugzilla, I discovered that my
chipset is H61. According to [1] above, the driver for this chipset is
i965 whereas I am using i915. I 965 appears to be installed:
============
root@aragorn:/home/jheaton5# locate i965
/usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so
/usr/lib32/dri/i965_dri.so
============
But it is not in the active modules
============
root@aragorn:/home/jheaton5# lsmod | grep i9
i915 351780 0
drm_kms_helper 27227 1 i915
drm 167670 2 i915,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit 12841 1 i915
button 12937 1 i915
video 17628 1 i915
i2c_core 23876 6
i915,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit,videodev,i2c_i801
============
I can remove i915 but I cannot modprobe i965.
============
root@aragorn:/home/jheaton5# modprobe i965
FATAL: Module i965 not found.
root@aragorn:/home/jheaton5# modprobe i965_drv_video.so
FATAL: Module i965_drv_video.so not found.
============
I am using the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel from experimental.
============
root@aragorn:/home/jheaton5# apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
