My computer only seems to boot when I have radeon.modeset=0. Xorg still loads the radeon drivers, which causes it to use llvmpipe for OpenGL rendering, which in turn makes my CPU fans sound like they're launching into space.

How can I force Xorg to load i915?

Update (6/19/2014):

I tried the instructions posted here, but it didn't seem to change anything. I had already purged fglrx before. Here's my xorg log: http://sprunge.us/QRTI. You can see that while it fails to load fglrx, it still loads radeon. And it still is using llvmpipe:

$ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)

You need to remove the radeon drivers from the system, and revert to the open source drivers. Here is a link with the appropriate procedure.

  • I followed those instructions (I had already purged fglrx before), but no change. I've updated my question with my Xorg log. – Ben Davis Jun 19 '14 at 23:00
