It's good to hear you have a solution but your situation still leaves me stumped. "lshw -c video" on my system reports, among other things, "configuration: driver=i915..." which is the Intel driver. Just to put a nail into it, "modinfo i915" reports it is the Intel Graphics driver written by Tungsten Graphics. I won't argue with success. I just wish I understood it. We're too far south to expect seeing the northern lights even with this powerful storm but our local newspaper printed a gorgeous photo taken in Tromso, Norway.
