Yeah, you're quite likely right. I'm running Libreboot, but it may be a different version than others are. > Here's the relevant excerpt of my lspci output: > > 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory > Controller Hub (rev 07) > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset > Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) > 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset > Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) > > Does the lspci output look different for your X200? > > Mark It looks the same. Maybe the Libreboot version is responsible... I'm not sure. In the meanwhile, I've figured maybe I could test trying to set up xorg to use a specific driver to see if that fixes it: (services (cons* ;;; ... (modify-services %desktop-services (slim-service-type startx => (xorg-start-command #:configuration-file (xorg-configuration-file #:drivers '("intel"))))))) However, Guix is unhappy about this: gnu/services/xorg.scm:451:28: In procedure slim-shepherd-service: gnu/services/xorg.scm:451:28: In procedure slim-configuration-auto-login-session: Wrong type argument: #<<program-file> name: "startx" gexp: #<gexp (apply execl #<gexp-input #<<program-file> ... it also doesn't work with just (xorg-start-command) either. I'm nowhere near a modify-services expert. Anyone have any clues? Thanks for all the help :)
