Not sure if it's related or why AEM would have modified it, but try
changing that i915 option to i915.alpha_support=1 (like
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/intel-igfx-troubleshooting/#software-rendering-or-video-lags).


As noted on qubes-issues, I had to remove "iommu=no-igfx" from Xen 
options to get graphics working.


Another side-effect that AEM/tboot has, unfortunately, is that 
sleep/suspend no longer works (now it causes an unintended reboot when 
entering sleep). But its been a long time since this combination worked.

[qubes-users] AEM boot = GPU hang, no graphics display

2018-05-23 Thread Chris Laprise
After setting up anti-evil-maid in R4.0 my laptop is unable to boot into 
a usable desktop: The resulting display is just a static wall of random 
stripes appearing before passphrase prompts; here I can press Esc for 
text mode.


After the disk comes online the graphics stripes return and I can't use 
the GUI. I can log in to a console terminal and access dmesg which has 
the following messages (grep i915):

The GPU is Intel integrated HD graphics (Ivy Bridge). Qubes is updated 
using current/stable and the kernel version is 4.14.35-1.


I wonder if there is a kernel parameter I should be using to get the GPU 
working?


BTW, one alteration I had made to get around issue #2155 (lockup on 
boot) is to manually upgrade the tboot component (initially 1.9.4 then 
1.9.6) - Fedora 25's tboot version is very old. I don't know if the 
tboot update has an impact on graphics but thought I'd mention it.
