Dear Debian X developers
If have touble getting debian wheezy installed on a standard business
PC (HP Elite 800 G1) with Intel HD 4400 graphics.
lspsi -v gives:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 041e (rev
06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1998
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45
Memory at f7800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
I/O ports at f000 [size=64]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
Kernel driver in use: i915
On plain wheezy the server falls back to the fbdev driver, which gives
poor video results and does not support a multihead configuration.
I installed a recent linux kernel from backports
(linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.2-amd64) and on to of that I compiled and
installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel from jessie (2.21.15) on that
system. On this setup the module is loaded, but it does not seem to be
able to interact properly with the hardware. See Xorg.0.log later
Do you have any hints, how to get HD 4400 hardware running under
Wheezy? Since it is the standard intel hardware even in the business
desktop systems, there must be several demands for that.
I am running Debian as a desktop distro in a professional environment
since 2002 and we always had the problem of getting business hardware
running the stable releases at some point. However in the resent
release cycles you always provided a backported version of the X
server (etch-and-a-half, squeeze-backports). Do you plan on doing so
as well for Wheezy? I would be very happy to hear so.
Thanks for you great work
