Jean-Pierre, Power Mgt in BIOS 1. pfexec pkg install system/pciutils@3.2.0,5.11-2014.0.1.0:20140528T080827Z2. Use setpci -s "<GPU PCI ID>" F4.B=## (where ## is BB=light, 77=med) Usually you can get the function keys on your laptop to do this if programmed correctly (BIOS). I set up VESA using 1280x1024 and 1920x1080 so it'll work if your setup allows it. Thanks,Ken

Xorg.0.log shows on Hipster (any 2014 versions) : .... (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.6.3 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 (II) LoadModule: "vesa" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amd64/vesa_drv.so (II) Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.3.0 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 ... (II) UnloadModule: "intel" (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/amd64/intel_drv.so So Xorg tries to use the Intel driver 2.6.3 and gives up. The vesa driver is used instead, which is not bad (I need no 3D). The only problem is that I cannot adjust the brightness, and maximum brightness is unbearable, hence my initial question. > > How it behaves in hipster-2014.1 and maybe booting from live 20141010 > DVD/USB? Same result (no surprise, this is the same driver and same xorg server). > Idea of freezing X and intel driver is if you freeze it in a working > state, before one updates rest of the system to hipster-2015 for testing > for new bugs. (Works for me for older intel graphics, e.g. 945) I also tested hipster 2015. The Intel driver fails because of undefined symbol RegionEmptyData. This is probably the signature of Xorg server being incompatible with Intel driver 99.99.917 > If also in hipster-2014.1 you do not have your graphics working > correctly (explain how it works, does it display with low > resolution/VESA or something) you can then try installing/booting from > live DVDs of older Openindiana /dev and Hipster release DVDs. Unfortunately this computer is not old enough (about two years and a half), and it has always fallen back to using the vesa driver. This appears to just be caused by an unsupported graphic model. I have also tried to configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reject the vesa driver. This has only led to having no graphics at all. > If with no previous release it worked for you, see that you report a bug > on it, too. > https://www.illumos.org/projects/openindiana/issues The conclusion will be to wait for the new Xorg server... Ken mentioned an Intel driver 2.9.1 which I could test if I found it somewhere. For now, having a way to adjust the brightness through the vesa driver would be enough.
