Hi Ben, Please consider cc22a938fc1d drm/i915: add Ivy Bridge GT2 Server entries, 2012-03-29 for application to the 3.2.y tree. It adds a PCI id to the i915 driver, making kms work. It was applied during the 3.4-rc2 cycle, so newer stable kernels don't need it. Maik Zumstrull tried it[1] on top of 3.2.30 and found it to work ok (thanks!). Note that pre-2.4.34 versions of libdrm don't cope well with that card, with or without this patch: - without this patch, modern X errors out instead of starting, because the intel driver requires kms. (In a hypothetical better world, userspace would know to fall back to vesa or something.) - with this patch and with libdrm patch 2.4.34~22 (intel: add Ivy Bridge GT2 server variant, 2012-03-29), X should work great - with this patch, without libdrm 2.4.34~22, but with libdrm patch 2.4.38~10 (intel: Bail gracefully if we encounter an unknown Intel device, 2012-07-25) applied, X should error out instead of starting - with this patch, and with libdrm lacking 2.4.34~22 and 2.4.38~10, X freezes at startup. "No regressions" means you probably shouldn't take this patch without a safety to work around the old X userspace, unless you can shout enough in release notes to get people to apply 2.4.38~10 to libdrm and maintain sanity. ;) Hmm?
