Slackware64-current kernel 6.6.7 and i915 module crash and blank screen
by kingbeowulf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6H6VA)
I have a 2006vintage Lenovo Thinkpad T510 I use for portable computing sometimes and Slackware64-current testing. It's been running just fine on Current for the past year. The recent upgrade to kernel-6.6.7, however, results in some sort of i915 crash and no viable framebuffer. I tried both generic and huge version. System is useable via ssh, just no display. I've reverted to 6.1.66 that works for the intel GPU. No issues with AMD GPUs (so far!).

There is some chatter on fedora, redhat, *buntoo etc on similar problems with kernel 6.5.x and 6.6.x.
Posting here to see if any other old timers with antique laptops are also having intel GPU issues.

Dec 16 13:12:17 arwen kernel: ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---Kernel-6.1.66 does not have the above error, but does have a call trace regarding intel_modeset_init warning/error that does not stop normal frame buffer or X.org operation.
There is some chatter on fedora, redhat, *buntoo etc on similar problems with kernel 6.5.x and 6.6.x.
Posting here to see if any other old timers with antique laptops are also having intel GPU issues.
