So I couldn’t use 13.X because the WiFi didn’t work.
With 12.3 everything seemed fine but then graphics are slow so the intel driver doesn’t get used.
It loads up without failure but still the fbXXX or vesa is used.
You need kernel-firmware installed for wifi to work on 13.x.
I think you need that on 12.3 too no?
But my real problem is getting my intel GPU to work on 12.3.
I’m seeing this in the VT: drm:i915_pci_probe ERROR Preliminary hardware support disabled
Actually this depends on your hardware.
For some wifi devices you need kernel-firmware, for certain intel chips you need ipf-firmware and others (like broadcom) might need something completely different.
Also different driver/openSUSE versions might have different requirements and different things preinstalled by default.
So what wifi device is it actually?
/sbin/lspci -nnk
But my real problem is getting my intel GPU to work on 12.3.
Yes, but maybe it would just work in 13.x with a newer kernel and a newer intel driver?
So getting your wifi to work with 13.x might be the better way to solve your problem.
Regarding the intel driver, it would also be interesting to know what chip you actually have (lspci).
And please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, this should show why fbdev or vesa is used instead of the intel driver.
So getting your wifi to work with 13.x might be the better way to solve your problem.
Yes, but since wifi works out of the box in 12.3 but not in 13.X I suspect trouble AND the intel driver problem is most likely present there too.
The whole Sax2 being deprecated without decent replacement is really also a huge pain in the @#$%.
On my D510 I had to compile the intel driver myself and I think this will be the solution to this problem too…

What is this drm stuff?
Why do you think so?
Again, there is a much newer intel kernel module and a much newer intel X driver in 13.x.
How did you determine that wifi is not working on 13.x btw? You can check whether the intel driver works the same way, no?
The whole Sax2 being deprecated without decent replacement is really also a huge pain in the @#$%.
Sax2 wouldn’t help you at all here.
The intel driver is in fact loaded, but it refuses to start.
If you configure Xorg to use intel with Sax2, Xorg wouldn’t start at all.
On my D510 I had to compile the intel driver myself and I think this will be the solution to this problem too…
Or upgrade to a newer openSUSE release which comes with a newer intel driver out of the box…
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a16] (rev 09)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:2054]
This is quite new, isn’t it?
So the intel driver in 12.3 might just be too old to support it. You say yourself that you needed to compile the driver yourself, which would support the theory that you need a newer driver than 12.3 includes.
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 [8086:422b] (rev 3e) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 3x3 AGN [8086:1101] Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
This one indeed requires kernel-firmware to be installed. It should work out of the box in 13.x then I think.
bla bla bla too long
The preferred way for long text is to upload it to http://susepaste.org or similar and post a link. I forgot to mention that, sorry.
Well, the forums can be accessed via NNTP too, the posts are synchronized after 10 minutes. If you would edit a post after that, NNTP users would still see the old version which is bound to lead to confusion.
What I wanted to add was that I generated my xorg.conf with Xorg -configure because the Sax3 conf was completely broken.
You shouldn’t have to.
Xorg can determine automatically which driver to use.
Telling it to use intel via a configuration file will just make it fail to start if the intel driver cannot be loaded (e.g. because it doesn’t support your graphics chip as seems to be the case here).
Better do not creata an xorg.conf.
If you really don’t want to upgrade to 13.x, I’d suggest to add the X11:XOrg repo and install the latest Xorg and intel driver from there:
sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_12.3 xorg
sudo zypper dup --from xorg
For best results you might need a newer kernel as well though (part of the intel driver is in the kernel), the latest stable one can be found in this repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard
What is this drm stuff?
Direct Rendering Manager, an interface between the X driver and the kernel for direct access to the graphics card.
See Direct Rendering Manager - Wikipedia
Ok, so tumbleweed fixed the intel graphics, I think, have yet to try OpenGL… But the wifi is really bothersome, how do I fix it?

But I’m still struggling with the wifi:
The output you posted here is totally unrelated to wifi.
And the output you posted before would suggest that it should in fact be working, at least the device had been recognized, the driver and the necessary firmware had been loaded successfully, and the network interface had been created.
Try switching to NetworkManager in YaST->Network Devices->Network Settings->Global Options and then use your desktop’s NetworkManager applet to configure the connection.
But I’m using TWM…
The exception occurs during bootup whan “wicked” is running something.
The ifup command stalls, is that normal?
Well, you can use nm-applet in TWM as well. And then there’s “nmcli”, a command-line interface, but that doesn’t allow to configure a connection.
Anyway, setup the connection as “system connection” (“Allow others users to connect” or similar), and it will be established automatically during boot without having to use any desktop applet at all or even login.
And actually this was mainly meant as a test.
wicked is reported to have problems with wireless connections.
The ifup command stalls, is that normal?
“stalls”?
ifup only brings up the interface. No connection is made.
But the interface should be up already anyway I suppose. What does /sbin/ifconfig say?
Did you configure the connection in YaST?
So i tried the to launch the nm-applet through dmenu, but it complains about some dbus thing and when I google that the solution is some gnome-keyring thing that doesn’t work for me.
stalls as in

How can I use the lowest, simplest and oldest tools to just force the wifi to work?
Where is eth0 and wlan0, what is this eno1 and wlp2s0?
yes I configured the connection in yast but it says (not connected)
It should be possible to run gnome-keyring in twm as well.
But twm really is only the bare minimum, it doesn’t even have a system tray, so it might not be easy to get everything to work.
Do you have some other DE installed? (KDE, GNOME, XFCE, LXDE, MATE, …)
You could login to that and setup the connection as “system connection” as mentioned earlier and then just use it inside twm.

Please, stop mixing in a new problem in every post.
This is leading to nowhere.
Start a new thread for each problem. This one is actually about “NUC Intel Graphics Driver”, if you forgot…
And what does Chrome have to do with the Linux community? It’s proprietary software from Google.
How can I use the lowest, simplest and oldest tools to just force the wifi to work?
What are those tools you mean?
Have you tried to use them?
Are you sure those “lowest, simplest and oldest tools” even support wireless connections?
As I said already, use YaST to setup the connection. Maybe it would work, I don’t know.
Where is eth0 and wlan0, what is this eno1 and wlp2s0?
That’s the new naming scheme.
You can name your interfaces any way you like in YaST though, if you like.
And there are ways to disable the new naming scheme and have it use eth0 and wlan0 by default as well.

It was my bad, I tried to launch nm-applet from root. But now when I try to launch nm-applet from my user it just stalls… 
Or it runs fine but I can’t see it…
Well, it should show an icon in the system tray. But without a system tray…
Yeah, so thanks for the help.
I got it working through hoooooops:
- disable NetworkManager
- start wpa_supplicant
- start wpa_gui and scan, then add and use the credentials possibly by using wpa_passphrase
- Use dhcpcd to get a IPv4 address…
Jezuz christ!
Genious move to make wifi reliant on gui… genious!
You need to have a wider perspective when developing software, you can just say well if you use wifi you have a system tray because you must be using a desktop. This is sublimely short sighted.
“Icewm” has a system tray. Or, at least, it has a panel and “nm-applet” shows there. But I admit that I have not tried setting up WiFi in 13.2 using Icewm. You would probably also need to be running the gnome polkit applet.
also I meant to say can’t. What are the benefits of NNTP?
