Hello.
It's a known issue that current intel drm driver in OI fails to work
with old Intel video adapters, like Intel g945 and similar.
Do we have a list of such devices and their pci ids?
Can we remove corresponding pci ids from
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/openindiana/drm/drm.p5m#L31
<https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/openindiana/drm/drm.p5m#L31>
?
The new intel driver accepts my graphics adapter shown as
8086:116 so this one should be kept in the list.
This PCI id corresponds to Sandy Bridge and was not removed: all gen 6/7
were kept.
Do you have any sporadic GPU hang to report?
During a fresh install from live USB, bad horizontal
lines showed and disappeared, but I did not notice
any during normal operation.
You can run glxgears in non-synchronized mode to check it:
$ vblank_mode=0 glxgears
It showed normally (at 2000fps, not bad, though 3000 on
Linux), but it sometimes halted for a second or two.
Maybe this is related to some unrelated task starting.
Could you add a comment in the following table?

Sorry, too high a hurdle for a sporadic usage...
Computer : HP Notebook envy 4
Graphics : Intel (id 8086:116.103c.1894)
Comment : Hipster 10-2016 "vanilla install" works
at 1366x768 resolution (glxgears at 2000fps).
With the vesa driver, Fn+F2 / Fn+F3 showed an on-screen
brightness control (with no effect on actual brightness),
but with the intel driver I do not get this control, so I
think there were inappropriate hooks with vesa and the hooks
are missing with Intel.
FIY, when it comes to my Thinkpads hot keys are managed in Linux by
evdev and are otherwise totally ignored since OI does not support it
(for instance you can check with xev) so xmodmap would not even help.
xf86-video-intel provides a backlight tool but I have not used it.
There is indeed an xf86-video-backlight-helper, probably
meant to be called from the desktop environment GUI, but
I do not know how I can start it.
For now I am just using "xrandr --brightness", which just
reduces the color space, not exactly what I want.
And an annoying thing which I did not have with the vesa
driver : something is hijacking the "Shift+F5" key. I was
customary with this with Nvidia drivers, but not on this
computer (nor virtual ones). What is the hijacker and how
can I get rid of it ?
