Kali 3.14-kali-amd64 Intel HD 4600

[nutpuk]

My previous post seems to be missing so I thought I would post again.

I'm in need of your help in getting my Toshiba Protege R30 and Intel HD 4600 working correctly with Kali 3.14-kali-amd64.

I seem to be having an issue with the Intel HD 4600 driver.

When I plug in a monitor through either VGA or HDMI the display shrinks and doesn't fill all the screen.

Right now its plugged into a Dell 23" monitor and only displays in the top left hand corner.

When plugged into my tv, its a bit better but not by much.

I'm not sure if its related, but in system settings, displays the options are greyed out and it won't let me chnage resolutions. Again I think this is down to the driver but I may be wrong.

Please can you help me get this working.

[nutpuk]

The current driver appears to be:

apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg-video-intel:
Installed: 2:2.19.0-6
Candidate: 2:2.19.0-6
Version table:
*** 2:2.19.0-6 0
500 http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Is there a later version of xserver-xorg-video-intel that I can use from Kali repo's. (e.g. xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.21.15)

If so can someone please help me by specifying the changes that I need to make?

You need xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.21 or later for hardware acceleration on haswell chips. It's currently availible in the kali-dev repo, but it will pull in a newer version of most of xorg along with a few other things. But if you're going to use that repo it might be safer to do a full "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade" instead of just installing (and mixing) only selected packages from the different repos.

TL;DR you can try adding the kali-dev repo and installing the driver by instelf, or doing a full upgrade, but ether way do it at your own risk.

Note: I tried pulling only the driver (and it's dependencies) from debian testing and it broke X pretty good, among other things, so I wouldn't advise going that route.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried the same and could not get Gnome or x started.

I then tried Kalie 1.0.9 but still had no joy.

This is the version that came with 1.0.9

Do you think the dev repo is the best shot?

Please csn you tell me the repo to add?

I guess it will be an apt-get xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.21 putting to the dev repo?

[SharkBait]

This is the dev repo:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free

Add it to the bottom of your /etc/apt/sources.list then do an apt-get update. Then you can ether install just the driver, or do a full upgrade. But if you run "apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel" and you should see both 2.19 and 2.21 listed.

I have it currently running apt-get update xserver-xorg-video-intel and it shows 2.19 installed and 2.21 available when i -cache it....Wish em luck

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

awesome....now i cant apt-get upgrade lol ?? any ideas so much for installing 2.21 fuckn a

I tried to install 2.21 xserver-xorg-video-intel from the dev repo from my 2.19 :/ just a fyi NO GOOD lol completely screwed my X lol like sharkbait said , should have listened. Just got done reinstalling kali lol

[nutpuk]

So looks like there is no fix for this issue?

It messed up my X when i tried to install it from the Debian repo.

I just want to get the laptop working, as adjusting the brigtness does't work etither.

Maybe tempted to revert back to Debian or CentOS and run Kali in a VM.

I really didn't want to do that though.

[SharkBait]

Brightness control should still work fine without me new intel drivers (it does for me). You may just have to manually set the keyboard shortcuts to use xbacklight to have it work is all. Gnome and xfce didn't auto detect it for me, though MATE did.

[kevin.bacon]

I have been working on resolving this issue for a couple weeks now. My resolution is completely messed up on my 4600 gpu. Has anyone figured out how to fix this issue?

[expose]

i had 4000 and fallback mode not work properly and i disappointed with that anyone can help us with problem ivy bridge intel HD 4000 /4600

[upinarms247365]

Going to revive this thread as I am now faced with this same scenario and have had the same results in trying the forementioned tasks.

Has anyone out there gotten this working yet?

[when123]

this will crash your systerm and broken your package , so please don't followed this way ,

i have tried this and reinstall kali .

right now , i can't find the better way to solve the problems .
