Description

on an Intel NUC with an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640, Tails starts correctly if xorg-driver=intel is added to the boot parameters.

if nomodeset is added to the startup options as well, it breaks the HDMI output (which is the only output on that computer) :

snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioCOD2: no i915 binding for intel hdmi/dp codec

I wonder if that information should be added to https://tails.boum.org/gdm/ or to the known issues list in the PC section

We can automate this so no manual tweak by the user is needed. Please give me the corresponding PCI ID (that the user should have seen in the “fails to start” error message; otherwise, see output of lspci in the WhisperBack report) and I’ll do that!

The PCI ID we were looking for is: 8086:5926.

echo 80865926 >> config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/live/config/xserver-xorg/intel.ids should do the trick.
