regression with video and i915 module

regression with video and i915 module

[We La]

If its necessary or useful for searching the error or reason for that problem, I put the compilation / install protocols of 2.6.30-rc4 on the server (too big to add to this mail service) so that can be analyzed the compilation error / info messages:


http://guyane.dyn-o-saur.com/sys/linux-2.6.30-rc4-i486-1sys.log1  , ...log2 , log4 , log5   (.tgz is the compiled kernel package)

If my laptop is switched off then, later, it can be also download from a mirror, f.ex.     http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/SYS/


I still inform that beside of this problem, I didnt see other relevant problems with that kernel, it also runs normally on my computer,  http://guyane.dyn-o-saur.com/info.php

regression with video and i915 module

[We La]

The error messages with 2.6.30-rc4 are more than before:

Apr 30 23:35:17 localhost kernel: i915: Unknown symbol acpi_video_exit
Apr 30 23:35:17 localhost kernel: i915: Unknown symbol acpi_video_register

This is like before a MSI wind U100 laptop


On this ocasion, I want to mention that also the broadcom 43 wifi driver dont work correctly. This cards are in HP, Compac, Toshiba laptops.  The driver needs additionally the extraction of firmware from Windows drivers and installation in /lib/firmware, and even then it functions problematically. Often nor the light that the wifi works goes on. The programmers of that should be notified to repair the driver that he dont depend longer on firmware.

On the same time, the rt2860sta driver for wifi on my own laptop works without problems, my server works via wifi with this driver and I up-/download many, no problems with that driver.
