I have installed 2.6.18 from unstable, and I have reproduced the same tests with it with the same results. > you didn't send dmesg nor lspci -vv output so those marketing numbers > are meaningless. > most probably you need i915 and it is loaded anyway, check lsmod. > also install udev if you haven't done yet, it will load the right > module for you. I have udev installed, however, note it installs a file called /etc/modprobe.d/display_class which seems to blacklist fb modules. (Anyway, without that file udev seems to load intelfb, which I load manually in the other tests). I have loaded i915 but it seems it just installs a drm module. I also added a dependency for intelfb in a /etc/modprobe.d/intelfb file, for loading intel_agp module before intelfb (because intelfb complained about not being able to access agp). I also included the intel_agp module in the kernel's initrd image. This solved the agp problem for intelfb, but now it said that resolution mode must be programmed at boot time. Which is a paradox, for I included the corresponding kernel boot option in GRUB: video=intelfb:800x600..... I would like to know if anyone could make any of these modules work, with this kernel image package :-/ Anyway, I can live with VESA fb. It provides framebuffer too. And I run X with no problems. For informational purposes, I include my lspci -vv output Regards,
