How to get the timestamp of linux kernel?

What are some good references on how to get Intel video runing with the current Linux kernel?

  • I have the common problem (based on Googling): nomodeset is needed on the kernel Grub command line to make the screen come out when booting the installer, but this makes the installer choose the VESA driver instead of Intel video. This makes the display distorted since the laptop is 1366x768 and the VESA driver makes it 1024x768. This is on both 12.04 and 6.3. I have tried many solutions based on different things I find, but to no avail. What is the root cause? What is the relationship between the framebuffer and http://X.org?

  • Answer:

    I use Intel HD Graphics 3000 on my ASUS laptop. I simply have installed: extra/xf86-video-intel 2.20.13-1 Equivalent package in Ubuntu must be: xserver-xorg-video-intel Try installing it and see what happens. Switch on/off nomodeset - For me I use no kernel parameters. For backlight: # cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness 15

To be specific, the problem is on the Intel GL45 chipset. The problem was just the brightness was set down to 0, making the screen show nothing. The kernel parameters to fix the brightness are acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor. nomodeset turns off Kernel Mode Setting (KMS), while enabling the brightness (somehow). The Intel driver requires KMS, so the X system falls back to the VESA driver. The solution is described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/765438/comments/112
