hw/swcursor on eee pc x101ch
- Vous devez vous identifier ou créer un compte pour écrire des commentaires
I'm running Trisquel on an Asus Eee PC X101CH. Post install, I had to upgrade to the linux-libre 3.5 kernel in order for my screen resolution to be accurately set. I believe I'm using the xserver-xorg-intel driver.
I'd like to use redshift to adjust the temperature of my screen at night, but it doesn't seem to change any color at all. It refuses to use randr mode, throwing an error. It'll fallback on vidmode, which I've set up to use screen0 (the only screen I think I could possibly have). In verbose mode, it shows the temperature changing, but the screen color doesn't change.
The redshift docs mention turning off hardware mouse pointers to get it to work. After some searching, I've set several combinations of HWcursor and SWcursor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa to no avail.
Does anyone have recommendations for how to disable hardware cursors in this setup or is anyone successfully using redshift?
Thanks!
Redshift works for me on radeon. What is the error message? The intel driver doesn't according to the man page have any option to draw cursor in either hw or sw.
That's the kicker, there's absolutely no error in vidmode. Here's my ~/.config/redshift.conf:
; Global settings
[redshift]
temp-day=6500
temp-night=3800
transition=1
gamma=1.0
;location-provider=manual
adjustment-method=vidmode
; The location provider and adjustment method settings
; are in their own sections.
;[manual]
;lat=44.42
;lon=26.10
; In this example screen 1 is adjusted by vidmode. Note
; that the numbering starts from 0, so this is actually
; the second screen.
[vidmode]
screen=0
redshift with verbose output:
christopher@dissentio:~$ redshift -v

Here's the same output forcing randr mode:
christopher@dissentio:~$ redshift -v -m randr

Manually setting a temperature:
christopher@dissentio:~$ redshift -v -O 3700K
Brightness: 1.00
Gamma: 1.000, 1.000, 1.000
Color temperature: 3700K
None of this is really showing any errors and it simply doesn't adjust the color of the screen. It also won't adjust the brightness if I use that setting.
Note that I realize the initial output wasn't counting down. At night, it properly counts down to 3700K.
Try putting this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "my intel cardie name"
Driver "intel"
Option "NoAccel" "true"
EndSectionThat should kill all hw acceleration. If it works with that, you can try enabling some accels to see if you find a working compromise.
Disabling acceleration didn't appear to change anything, but in editing that, it occured to me that I may not be using the intel driver after all. Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf as it was immediately after install:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default"
Option "GLXVBlank" "on"
EndSection
Is there a reliable way to discern which driver I'm using or is there a way to set/unset hardware cursors under that configuration?
Thanks for the input!
That option is for the nouveau driver. Do you have a nvidia GPU?
You can try and see what main menu > system > details say about your gfx. Or you can try to decipher xorg's log file.
It's not an nvidia as far as I know. H-Node says it's Intel:
Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (works, but without 3D acceleration)
(http://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/651/Eee-PC-X101CH)
The system details show "Graphics: Unknown". Is there a way to force the intel driver?
That xorg.conf snippet should do it. What does lspci -nn spit out?
The issue I had with the previous snippet is that I was unsure what the identifier string for my card would be. Using Driver "intel" appears to load the intel driver (as anticipated) by looking at xorg's logs.

The identifier can be anything unique. Yeah, no nvidia in sight, perhaps it was a leftover from where ever. One option would be to try a very recent kernel, like 3.10.*.
