[x86-64] Blank screen when installed, live mode works fine

  • I'm an idiot, guys. I assumed I was on the latest bios but I guess you can't take such things for granted with such an old motherboard. Updating to the most recent (which is still from over 10 years ago) resolved all of my issues. I can run the stable release of 12.02 (non-legacy) and get video and audio just fine over HDMI now.

    No idea why it made a difference as the notes for this bios just mentioned fixing USB3 issues, but yeah. Sorry to have wasted everyone's time.

  • There is no i965 mesa driver any more in LE

    I'm a bit behind on x86 matters (about a decade) :D

    I was thinking to expense an N100 box to attempt tracking down the known audio issue (and to see how things are these days) but there are so many devices to choose from on Amazon I keep deferring the idea. It would be better if someone with a bigger interest in Intel matters would do it.
