#5040: Dell Dimension 3100 with LCD screen loses video at end of boot -------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: MichaelCrawford | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Unscheduled Component: Drivers/Graphics/intel_extreme | Version: R1/Development Keywords: r34248, video, boot, safe mode, vga | Blockedby: Platform: x86 | Blocking: -------------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment(by umccullough): Sounds like a similar intel_extreme issue that a lot of i945 chips are suffering from (see also #4240, #3464, #3149 ) When you're on the boot menu, selecting a mode from the "fail safe video modes" doesn't actually make the app_server use fail safe video (only the boot screen) - if you want the app_server to use fail safe video, you must go into the safe mode options sub-menu and turn on the fail safe video mode also. This will prevent app_server from using the intel_extreme driver beyond boot screen and likely provide you with a usable vesa system. FWIW, this is extremely confusing to explain to people who aren't familiar with it - could something be done to remove the ambiguity here? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5040#comment:10> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
