Hm, please take a look at Xorg Drivers page. That page says that you need to enable i915 drivers and kernel mode setting. I've taken a look at your config and noticed that you have enabled i915 drm drivers, but not KMS CONFIG_DRM_I915=y # CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is not set You will need to enable it and recompile the kernel. You will also need to make sure that your user is memeber of "video" group - you can look at "Xorg Testing and Configuration Section" http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/xorg-config.html -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
