This was previously posted on this list (but the archive seems broken right now) so I retrieved from Google cache. It was for the 1st gen macbook, but I would think would still work: [START ARCHIVED MESSAGE] MacBook has a i945 integrated graphic device. To configure, I chose 'intelfb' (not imacfb driver, which seems only to garble the screen for me) driver for the kernel. For X, I managed to make a dual-screen setup, so that I can do presentation on projector and stuff.
