As I said, I upgraded to unstable and got no video at all with the intel driver, and I think also with the vesa driver. I just installed a testing snapshot on a spare partition from scratch and the intel driver works great, no crash, 32 bpp, resolution switching, and a working console. So why didn't this work when I upgraded xorg in the etch system? Do I need to upgrade the kernel as well? More than the kernel?
