intel q35 on-board graphics card

[Matt Schwartz]

Hello,

I have the intel q35 on-board graphics card and am tearing my hair out 
to get it to work.  Dmesg finds it but states that it is not 
configured??.  X errors out with a cannot allocate video ram error. 
Unfortunately, I am not in a position to post my logs just yet.  Could 
someone at least provide a next step for troubleshooting.  I have 
attempted to manually set the ram in the xorg.conf file to no avail.  I 
do know vesa works but vesa sucks.  What does it mean when memory cannot 
be allocated?

Thanks,
Matt
