The Problem
I’m trying to get the STK 11 Engine to work properly on my laptop. I have a Samsung RV711 running an Intel i3 380M CPU with Fedora 23. Rumor has it you can install drivers called i915 to make it work. Well I did, and this site has a lovely tool to do so.
So far, I haven’t had an improvement in the situation. The problem is when I run
./connectconsole -new
I get the error
intel_do_flush_locked failed: error
Aborted (core dumped)
According to another site, Operational Dynamics , the problem might be because the standard drivers aren’t quite up to the task. So maybe it’s worth a shot. However, the site wants me to install PPAs for Ubuntu. Does that work? I guess I’ll find out. Here’s the code suggested by the site:
# add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
# add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
# sed -i -e 's/"quiet splash"/"quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=0"/g' /etc/default/grub
# update-grub
