Well, since its blacklisting nouveau I don't think KMS is really running, and he said - "I blacklisted the nouveau module so I could boot the machine. KMS is therefore enabled." seeing KMS in lsmod is not necessarily an indication the KMS is running. Blacklisting nouveau is like starting with the nomodeset kernel option, but this information is just a guess on what I remember, I may be wrong because when I dont want KMS I use nomodeset instead... -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
