Bug#779515: Should enable the qxl kernel driver when installed
reassign 779515 linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64 severity 779515 important thanks On Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:47:54 + Ben Hutchings wrote: > I've enabled the kernel's qxl driver, but disabled by default so that > it doesn't conflict with wheezy's version of xserver-xorg-video-qxl. > > Please install a modprobe configuration file with the line: > > options qxl modeset=1 > > (When I tried this on a VM host with virt-manager and QEMU from sid, > the qxl driver complained of missing features, so KMS still didn't > work. However, the fall-back to UMS still worked.) Shouldn't the qxl kernel module be enabled by default in unstable now that the xserver-xorg-video-qxl package has been updated? I quickly tested with stretch kernel and xserver-xorg-video-qxl and it seems to work, well actually now that Xserver is running without root rights, kernel qxl driver is actually required, X is not starting otherwise. Could you please revert your patch and enable qxl by default when needed? Cheers, Laurent Bigonville

Can be applied on top of the current git repository. I have just encountered one case where the xorg driver would not work without this (instead I got a brown screen and a machine lockup).

Bug#779515: Should enable the qxl kernel driver when installed
Source: xserver-xorg-video-qxl Version: 0.1.1-2 Severity: normal I've enabled the kernel's qxl driver, but disabled by default so that it doesn't conflict with wheezy's version of xserver-xorg-video-qxl. Please install a modprobe configuration file with the line: options qxl modeset=1 (When I tried this on a VM host with virt-manager and QEMU from sid, the qxl driver complained of missing features, so KMS still didn't work. However, the fall-back to UMS still worked.)
