I have an older Laptop with this card in it: [ 0.813208] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 945GM Chipset [ 0.813284] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: detected gtt size: 262144K total, 262144K mappable [ 0.814188] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: detected 8192K stolen memory [ 0.814377] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xc0000000 I observe the following strange behavior: if I start up the system (grub2, openSUSE 12.1) I see the splash screen appearing shortly. In most cases it will then disappear and the screen will become just black. This is not the delay "X is loading but has not put anything on the screen", but it is much earlier. I'm asked for a crypt password during bootup, which in most cases now happens totally in the dark, i.e. no console messages at all, no prompt. Booting just to runlevel 3 leaves me with a black screen but a functional system. The strange thing is: sometimes (like 10%) things are just working, i.e. I have console output. I've tested with 3.1.10 as well as 3.6.2 and both have the problem. I've run a number of 2.6 kernels before on this system, but I do not recall when the problem occured or which is one that definitely worked. Starting X will always get the screen back into working state, i.e. the system is normally usable after startup, but it is just annoying to see nothing during startup. Any hints, patches, whatever? Greetings, Eike P.S.: please keep me on CC, I'm not on the list. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
