Pay attention: And blacklisting nouveau does not disable KMS, it just disables the river from loading automatically by udev. That way you can boot using VESA. Nouveau gets loaded when: Xorg Server starts or you modprobe it manually. In either way, KMS will be enabled. And as you can see in his Xorg.0.log file, everything is fine. If KMS was disabled, it would print an error. I suspect it's something with ACPI stuff or the way laptop backlight is controlled. Laptops are PITA when you need to get them to work. I had too much trouble with mine. But, on my side, there was nothing on the screen. Just poor text. I solved it (after hours of searching) by just pressing "Increase brightness" button on my keyboard. (DOH!). It didnt, however, happened with driver blacklisted or with KMS disabled. Also, in my case, it was intel driver, not nouveau. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
