Intel Extreme driver does not work

Аsus Eee Pc 701. After loading, the screen goes gray. If during boot to select VESA mode, everything is fine. If during boot to select 8, 16 or 32 bits, nothing changes, - the screen is gray. Also incorrectly identifies the screen resolution. In the list of available only 640X480
Acer Aspire One A110 freezes during startup. Loaded only in VESA mode.

Both netbooks are working well with haiku-nightly-hrev37324.

I replaced intel_extreme.accelerant an older version, - works fine.

Diger, can you test hrev38723?

note: hrev38724 applied a patch from #6641. See ticket:6641#comment:4 too

Problem could relate to this change hrev38329 which affects intel_extreme accelerant.

Either way, ticket is only good with syslog attached to it. Listdev for graphics cards would be nice too but this information should show in syslog anyways. Tickets without syslog (or crash info) are very unlikely to get fixed.

I tested hrev38723, - gray screen. :(

[tonestone57]

Your ticket is same as #6559 except he gets white screen instead of gray.

Both of you have: a) i915 graphics b) EDID issue

hrev38329 is the problem for you. You can try hrev38328 & then hrev38329 to be sure yourself and confirm it. Would guess that code does not work right on i915 (mobile?) graphics chipset.

Interesting part from your syslog.old below:

This is exactly the same as #6559. The old code was broken for other people, the new one is broken for you.

It should be possible to mix both to get something working for everyone.
