| Ng | do we load i915.ko in initramfs? (my actual question is do we default to modesetting being enabled now, I just don't see anything for that in /etc/modprobe.d) | 14:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Ng | (and would modesetting jump to the native mode of my laptop's panel, vs grub's 640x480 setting) | 14:15 |
| tormod | Ng, yes see bug 392039. and yes it should pick the panel native mode | 14:19 |

| Ng | k | 14:20 |
| tseliot | Ng: no, we don't. Loading fbcon in the initramfs seems to be enough for me | 14:20 |
| Ng | ah | 14:21 |
| jcristau | loading fbcon without an actual fb driver won't do anything though | 14:21 |
| Ng | so is modeset=1 just the default? | 14:21 |
| tseliot | jcristau: hence the black screen on boot. KMS works well otherwise | 14:22 |
| tseliot | Ng: yes, that's the default AFAIK | 14:22 |
| Ng | ok | 14:22 |
| tseliot | (At least in ubuntu) | 14:22 |
| Ng | k | 14:22 |
| tormod | tseliot, the above bug is not fixed, so the initrd does load i915, right? | 14:24 |
| tseliot | tormod: if I load fbcon, then yes, I think it does. The resolution changes and KMS works | 14:25 |
| tseliot | dmesg showed something about KMS but I should check again | 14:26 |
| tormod | I am more thinking of what it does by default in karmic | 14:26 |
| tseliot | currently it's not loaded in karmic by default | 14:27 |
