disable ati/ enable intel problem

English Hardware
#1

Hi

I’m new to opensuse. I have a hybrid ATI/intel laptop. By default opensuse try to load the radeondriver but that doens’t work. So i want to use my intel card. I installed intel driver and uninstalled the radeonhd package. But it still try to load the radeon card.

I googled it but didn’t found out how to do it in opensuse. In chakra it works when I uninstall radeon and install the opensource intel driver. Xorg automatically load the intel driver and everything works fine there.

Somebody a clue
thanks

Okey, the problem is that the opensource radeon and intel (i915) drivers are installed in one rpm called xorg-x11-driver-video. In chakra (arch based distro) they are packaged seperately. So there I just install the intel and uninstall the radeon driver and everything works. in opensuse the ati driver is always trying to load or something and I can’t boot up. Blacklisting doesn’t help. I’m now stuck on the vesadriver :frowning:

Is there a manner to install only the intel driver of the xorg-x11-driver-video rpm package and not the rest or a manner to somehow uninstall the radeondriver?

any suggestion would be welcome!
thanks

I have the same problem here, add radeon.modeset=0 to kernel line in GRUB

That’s it!

thanks a lot!

ps: hmm, can’t find how to mark this as solved. I don’t find an edit option in my first post.

Am I correct that adding "radeon.modeset=0 " as a boot code allows the Intel graphic driver to load when you have a hybrid Intel/Radeon graphic hardware configuration?

And could you please show us the output of these two commands:

/usr/sbin/hwinfo --gfxcard | grep -i -e model -e driver -e device -e status
/bin/lsmod | grep radeon
