Description
This test case tests whether virtual terminal switching works successfully with the intel video driver, with kernel mode setting enabled. You must be using a video adapter supported by the intel.
Setup
- Ensure the nomodeset and i915.modeset=0 kernel parameters are not set in your bootloader configuration
- You can see your current kernel options by running
cat /proc/cmdline
- You can see your current kernel options by running
- Ensure the file
/etc/X11/xorg.confdoes not exist, or is a valid file that uses the intel driver - Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again
- If using a live image to test, ignore the above steps and simply boot the system from the live image with default options
How to test
- Switch to a virtual console: ctrl-alt-F2
- Log in to the console (as user root with no password, if you are using a live image to test), and run a test command
- Switch back to the graphical desktop: ctrl-alt-F1
- Switch back and forth again
Expected Results
- Switching between the graphical desktop and a virtual console should work correctly
- Both the virtual console and the graphical desktop should be displayed correctly, and this should work through repeated switches between the two
