#11254: Intel graphics randomly boots with black screen --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: edglex | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Drivers/Graphics/intel_extreme | Version: R1/Development Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: x86 | --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ This is hrev 47865 on a thinkpad x230 with intel HD 4000 graphics. Two thirds or three quarters of the time this machine has a black screen on boot (with the intel driver). The rest of the time it boots normally and has the correct resolution etc. The attached syslog is from 2 boots - the first exhibited the problem while the second was a successful boot. More info: Changing display settings once booted can also cause the same issue (screen goes black to change modes and the image doesn't come back). This is mostly a problem with software that changes the screen mode itself (like SDL apps), since they change without a "return to previous settings" timeout. Actually, SDL apps seem to change the mode to the same as it already is for some reason, but I know the mode has changed because of the flash to a black screen and then back again, and afterwards switching desktops will cause the screen to turn briefly black then come back, unless I use screen preferences and apply to all desktops. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11254> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
