i was using savage fbdev. i've removed it, recompiled kernel, and now Xorg starts with DRI enabled on one display! :) (other has still videoram detected improperly to just 2048kb, instead of 8192) kde starts just fine. also vt switches work now. i am using plain vga console now, i've disabled framebuffer support completely. there is remaining problem with glx - glxgears show even more stunning 600fps , but there is just blank void staring at me from glxgears window... i recall from 'old times' there was some bug in mesa, so i will try to downgrade, i've tried 7.7 and 7.5 so far. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
