Hi list! I ran into a massive problem when I tried to update to xorg-server-1.8: When I tried to start it, the x-server didn't come up and wrote this error: "(EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected".
So I activated modesetting by default in the kernel and tried it again. Now I have two distinct problems: 1. On boot up, the screen goes completely black until the xserver is started. While I know my system long enough to recognize common boot errors by watching the disk and peripheral device activity, I wouldn't like to make a filesystem recovery blindfolded ;) 2. Once the XServer runs, it is extremely unstable. It gets killed and restarted by XDM every few minutes. dmesg and Xorg.0.log haven't shown anything suspicious. In the end that means that I'm currently stuck with xorg-server-1.7 and no modesetting. For reference, my system: Dell Latitude D520 Intel GMA 945 (i915 driver) 64bit, libs mostly from stable screen resolution 1400x1050 Thanks in advance, Florian Philipp
