What version of xf86-video-intel are you running? Can you show the whole Xorg.log? With kernel mode setting, you want fbcon built into the kernel (otherwise you won't get a console by default), but it has a stupid interaction with xf86-video-intel. I just ran into this the other day, and I think seeing the log will jog my memory. If you just want to workaround this, boot with i915.modeset=0 (I think, it might be nomodeset=0 instead). -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
