Greetings,

Trying to step up X on my laptop and have a few questions.

Problem: Automatic config produce by xorg fails. After some tweaking to the config, I am able to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace out sucessfully, but still do not know why I'm stuck with a blank screen.

Error Message: Fatal: Unable to load "fbcon" module

System: Lenovo T400
Memory Size: 4Gb
Kernel: Hardened Sources -2.6.29
Hardened Tool Chain: 4.3.3-espf-0.2.0 via Xake-overlay
Graphics: Intel GMA 4500
Kernel Settings: i915 KMS by default no other fb devices selected
LCD: CMO N141C1-L03
Running: 9999 branch from X11 overlay
Xorg: 7.4

Curious to why xorg is asking for fbcon module when I've got KMS running?

I've also have three other questions:
1) To make use of DRI2 do I have to have a section in the xorg.conf?
2) I noticed in the X log it indicates "VideoRam: 262144 KB" anyway to maximize this value to reflect total possible intel memory?
3) Any other patches or optimizations I will require to get xorg to play nicely with my hardware?

Quasi 4) Anyone solved that annoying "undefined video mode = ffff at boot" with KMS, i915, > 2.6.29?

My noobness is showing... :oops:

Running startx brings up xterm and fully functional keyboard and trackpad. Guess the new version of xorg you don't need to run X -config /root/xorg.conf.new?

Any guidance with my other questions?
