OK, I tried it, and passed the modeset parameters. But no luck. I used the xorg.config, and the .config for kernel. I think there's something different in our systems. I have seen that intel released driver for this, http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2009Q4.html I unmasked the latest and installed xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and libdrm-2.4.17, but not yet xserver 1.7.3 like the page recommended. I wasn't able to unmask it.
I just added x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.10.0 to /etc/portage/package.unmask and x11-libs/libdrm to /etc/portage/package.keywords , but this didn't work with xorg-server. Any advice about unmasking all of them with a better way ? On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 2:13 AM, Mansour Al Akeel <mansour.alak...@gmail.com> wrote: > Mark, > thank you.
