graphics - Force VESA driver in Ubuntu 16.10 - Ask Ubuntu


my ubuntu 16.10 uses i915 driver. reasons have troubles it. want force x use vesa.

i tried:

  1. blacklist i915 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. sudo update-initramfs -u. doesn't work.

  2. grub_cmdline_linux_default="quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=i915" in /etc/default/grub. update-grub2. doesn't work

  3. added new file 20-foo.conf in /usr/etc/x11/xorg.conf.d content:

    section "device"     identifier      "configured video device"     driver          "vesa" endsection

doesn't work.

guys, how on earth 1 make os requires such effort switch video driver? maybe i'm doing wrong?

i had same issue different card , ubuntu 16.04.

i had luck appending kernel parameter @ boot: vga=791

the vga parameter sets framebuffer vesa mode 791 (1024x768 16bit).

to add kernel parameters: this answer or wiki.
