Bug#623138: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Blank screen in X (no crash) after upgrading from Lenny to Wheezy, Sony Vaio PCG-R505B/P



Hi,

Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au> (17/04/2011):
> After upgrading my Sony Vaio PCG-R505B/P laptop from Lenny to
> Squeeze, the X screen (vt7) is always blank after booting.
> Switching virtual terminals works, and everything else appears to
> work fine (this bug report is being written on a SSH session on the
> laptop in question).  The screen is still blank after restarting
> gdm.
> 
> Marked as important because the two available workarounds do not
> work: using the fbdev driver crashes the kernel, and the vesa driver
> always gives "no screens found" error (despite exhausting all
> possibilities in xorg.conf).

from your logs:

> [    1.231422] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 830M Chipset
...
> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] [8086:3577] (rev 04)

That falls into the “old card” category mentioned in our FAQ:

Sorry. :/
