[SOLVED] Intel i915 — Disable Modesetting Drivers?

Post by nixnuc » Wed Jan 01, 2020 5:15 pm

Linux noob here — can someone point me to a tutorial on how I disable modesetting and revert to intel propriety drivers for my intel i915 GPU?

Graphics:
Device-1: Intel driver: i915 v: kernel
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.6 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa
resolution: 1920×1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics (Coffeelake 3×8 GT3)
v: 4.5 Mesa 19.0.8

I’ve tried «nomodeset» in GRUB, and that loads fbdev but I can’t change resolutions (it’s stuck on some ridiculously high 3840 x res).

Reason I ask is that I’m experiencing some lag issues gaming in Wine when the mouse is moved, and another user reported this issue was fixed for him when loading the intel propriety drivers.

It’s not a proprietary driver, but in any case, installing it and rebooting should be all there’s to it: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel .

Apparently I already had the drivers installed?

Mmm. What kernel version are you on? uname -r from a terminal tells. If upgrading to the current 5.0 or 5.3 kernel does not help as advise, we’ll need some more information; in that case please post the output of inxi -Fxz . But first:

I’d try the latest 5.3. In Update Manager (the shield icon in your tray), use View -> Linux kernels, install the latest 5.3 (currently 5.3.0-24) and reboot. Does inxi -Gx now indicate the intel driver?

Also finding something about relatively recently still needing i915.alpha_support=1 as a kernel parameter on newish hardware that identifies same as yours; if above does not bring immediate success, try (additionally) nano /etc/default/grub and adding said parameter to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=». » line, inside of the quotes, save the file, run sudo update-grub and reboot.

If still nothing, please the requested inxi -Fxz output, preferably inside of [code]. [/code] tags.

I actually upgraded my Linux kernel last night:

uname — r shows 5.3.0-24-generic

I added i915.alpha_support=1 as kernel parameter per your recommendation and «sudu update-grub» and rebooted, but driver still shows as modesetting:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i915.alpha_support=1"

Установка драйвера Intel в Ubuntu

В отличие от драйверов видеокарт от других производителей, таких как Nvidia и AMD, часть драйвера Intel для интегрированных видеокарт встроена в ядро, а другая часть в пакет mesa-utils. Таким образом если вы используете последнюю версию ядра и свежую версию mesa-utils то, скорее всего, вы используете самую свежую версию драйвера Intel.

В этой статье мы рассмотрим как выполняется установка драйвера Intel в Ubuntu если он не установлен по умолчанию, а также как получить самую последнюю версию.

Официальный установщик драйверов Intel

Раньше существовал установщик драйверов от Intel, позволяющий установить последнюю версию драйвера в Ubuntu или Fedora, но потом компания прекратила поддержку этой утилиты. Скачать её можно здесь. Но последняя версия пакета вышла в 2018 году, и с тех пор уже вышло много новых ядер и новых версий дистрибутива Ubuntu. Сейчас в репозиториях Ubuntu версия драйвера более новая чем там.

Установка драйвера Intel в Ubuntu

Вы можете посмотреть какой сейчас драйвер видеокарты используется с помощью команды lspci:

Как видите, в данном примере используется i915, это драйвер видеокарты от Intel. Он работает и ничего больше устанавливать не нужно. Если же в этой строчке находится что-то другое, можно попытаться установить драйвер.

Для установки части драйвера для Xorg и Mesa достаточно установить в систему такие пакеты:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel

sudo apt install mesa-utils

Если вы хотите получить самую последнюю версию драйвера можно воспользоваться специальным PPA. Для добавления репозитория в систему выполните:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

Затем просто обновите систему и перезагрузите компьютер:

Выводы

Вот и все. Теперь вы знаете как выполняется установка драйвера Intel Ubuntu. В отличие от драйверов для Nvidia, в большинстве случаев здесь всё уже установлено. И вам не надо думать как поддерживать актуальную версию этого драйвера в своей системе. Если у вас остались вопросы, спрашивайте в комментариях!

Intel® Graphics Driver Backports for Linux® OS (intel-gpu-i915-backports)

Contains the backported i915 Source Code of intel GPUs on various OSV Kernels. You can create Dynamic Kernel Module Support(DKMS) based packages, which can be installed on supported OS distributions.

These out of tree i915 kernel module source codes are generated by the backpoprt project. «https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page»

This repo is a code snapshot of particular version of backports and does not contain individual git change history

This driver is part of a collection of kernel-mode drivers that enable support for Intel graphics. The backports collection within https://github.com/intel-gpu includes:

• Intel® Graphics Driver Backports for Linux — The main graphics driver (includes a compatible DRM subsystem and dmabuf if necessary)
• Intel® Converged Security Engine Backports — Converged Security Engine
• Intel® Platform Monitoring Technology Backports — Intel Platform Telemetry
• Intel® GPU firmware — Firmware required by intel GPUs.

Each project is tagged consistently, so when pulling these repos, pull the same tag.
