#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): I tested R1/Alpha1 on my wife's ASUS desktop computer which has an i915 chipset, and after the boot screen logos are all lit, the screen goes black for a second, and then comes back with a shifted image of the boot screen with some artifacts at the bottom corner at which point it hangs. This is booting from USB stick, btw, the screen is a 1920x1200 LCD attached to the VGA port (no DVI port on this box), machine has 2gb RAM. I can get into KDL from this point - but the KDL output is also shifted and wraps around the screen slightly, it seems the framebuffer alignment is all screwed up at this point. I tried a somewhat newer revision (from last week I believe), but it keeps hanging at the disk icon (the R1/Alpha1 did this one one of the boot attempts also). I'll try an even newer one soon. If I set fail safe video mode, R1/Alpha1 boots to a desktop just fine. What can I provide that might help? I can hook a serial cable to the machine if necessary, or take photos of the screen state if necessary. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5040#comment:12> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
