I'm not sure what happened to the I810, and not really interested - it predated modern intel CPUs. Modesetting is probably now activated by DRM_KMS_HELPER, and that is now selected by at least the main in-kernel DRM drivers. Kernel options change, the book does not always keep up. While I was checking on this I noticed that Skylake and later apparently need firmware to get the graphics working. I either didn't know, or had forgotten, that. ĸen -- If a man stands before a mirror and sees in it his reflection, what he sees is not a true reproduction, but a picture of himself when he was a younger man. -- de Selby -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
