Hello,

I'm always on Radion (no proprietary drivers, default Qubes setup).
Now, I'm trying to switch to Intel integrated Graphic at the same
machine (Intel HD 2000 on my processor). But I have troubles with
booting Qubes. I see only blinked keyboard cursor at the top left
corner. It show _after_ Qubes question what kernel to load (default or
advanced). Every kernel show the same cursor.

Maybe somebody know how to fix this issue?
I think Qubes must work perfect with any intel integrated graphic...
Thanks

After I remove Radion card, system loaded. But resolution is only
1280x800 and no network access (network managed do not see wired network)
Is it because Qubes installeted&updated on Radion card? Or I have too
old integrated intel graphic (hd 2000 ) ?

I'd guess that the PCI order/ID of your devices changed when you removed
the Radeon card, causing the NIC to no longer be recognized by its old
ID. If you go into Devices tab for your sys-net and remove/re-add the
NIC (then restart) it may work.

Thanks. I will try, but it's part of the problem... How to fix
resolution? Look like Qubes do not recognize intel graphic... But how
it's possible...

I'm have an Thinkpad X220 with Intel HD3000 which works fine.

However, I needed to add the following to my kernel boot flags:

i915.preliminary_hw_support=1

This was done a long time ago and I haven't experimented with removing
it, so please just consider it a hint for possible next action rather
than a working solution ;-)

Hmm, HD graphics 2000 looks like old Sandy Bridge, so preliminary HW support should not have any effect in theory. Also, installing a new kernel is not much likely to help (it would be if you had a recent GPU that is too new for the kernel), but you might try it.

Eva, what does «sudo rmmod i915» do? If it proceeds, then the driver doesn't recognize the GPU. If it doesn't, then the driver recognizes GPU, but there is something wrong with config or with the driver.

You might also try checking if the same issue happens in Fedora 23.

Thanks for the info!

Additionally, you might want to check the X.org logs on dom0 for any
messages from the intel driver (which you should be using by default
unless you have changed the X.org config):

$ grep -i intel /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I have attached the output from my X.org log file if you need a baseline
to compare against.
