I discovered this statement at intellinuxgraphics.org.
:: Quote ::
Frame Buffer Compression is now enabled for Gen6 onwards (in other words, starting with Sandy Bridge). It can be enabled manually on other graphics cards by using the i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 kernel parameter.

is the i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 parameter built into the kernel at compile time or is it a parameter entered into a conf file?
My /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf file has only one entry:
:: Code ::
options i915 modeset=1
I expect I am overriding this parameter in my kernel boot line "i915.modeset=0". Without that in the boot line I get a blank screen. Is the /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf file the right place to add the i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 parameter? Edit: I tried it. That is not the place.

I ran sgfxi -N again and created an xorg.conf. No joy. Here is the xorg.conf and xorg.log from that boot:

Please show a full inxi -Fx

It appears you have three screens, or xorg thinks you do, and 3 video outputs.

The error message is crystal clear, the screen x is looking for is not attached, you have to explain why that's happening, that's not a standard output at all.

I have no clue on the 3 monitors. The computer is an All-in-one with the CPU and monitor in one box. There is one VGA-out connector but it is not connected.

Here are some good links I found during my research. Unfortunately I don't know enough for them to be useful. You might find what you are looking for there.

Intel Linux Graphics

XStrikeForce - Debian Wiki

KernelModesetting - Debian Wiki

Here's probably what you need to do I think, find out why you have three cards and screens listed, that is just not normal, unless xorg has radically changed.

Then you need to find which is your real card and real screen, I suggest starting with card0 and screen0 to see if that works.

Comment out with # marks each line of the non screen 0 and card 0 xorg.conf lines. then go down and find all references to screen x and card x, and make sure there is only one, card0 on screen 0.

I can't promise this will work since a lot depends on how xorg s viewing your hardware.

I'll have to skip reading those links though they may help other users so that was a good thing to add, that stuff makes my head hurt.

OK. I commented out everything having to do with monitor 0,1,2; card 0,1,2 and screen 0,1,2 each in turn. Same error as when all three are uncommented: "No screens found."

x starts without an xorg.conf file but the screen resolution is not correct.

I'll work on this some more tomorrow, but I'm tired now. Thanks.

Update: freedesktop bug#38527
The system in use when the bug occurred is the same system that I have. It appears from this article that this bug will be fixed in the 3.2 kernel.

damentz has the 3.2 now in his 'future' branch of liquoirix, add 'future' to the deb line in apt sources, with 'main', and then update apt and install the 3.2 kernel manually.
