Intel HD Graphics Not Working on Linux Lite 7.4 — Using llvmpipe Instead of i915

[stevef]

You covered the plausible results I found with a quick search.

The hardware database reports over 100 LL 7.x systems with

Intel Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/j3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics

All appear to be working with the i915 kernel driver and Mesa renderer, which suggests it should work.

Without having the same hardware I can't reproduce or suggest much without guessing.

In your position, I'd try looking for possible clues with commands like

Code:

journalctl -b | grep i915

Code:

journalctl -b | grep -i "error\|warn\|fail"

Code:

journalctl -b | grep 00:02.0

As an alternative, try debugging the black screen you get without nomodeset.
Does pressing Alt,Ctl,F2 at the black screen do anything ?
