xf86-video-intel is broken
xf86-video-intel is broken.
X wont start when using ‘intel’ driver.
(Using ‘vesa’ driver I don’t have any trouble.)
mhmini:~# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sed -n '/^Section\ \"Dev/,/EndSection/p' | egrep -v "^\ *#"
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Using a empty xorg.conf won’t make things better.
mhmini:~# grep -i intel /var/log/Xorg.0.log
