Re: [gentoo-user] Intel dilemma

Well I tried the .28 kernel with the package versions you suggested, and
when the X server starts, it's just a black screen BUT the machine
doesn't freeze and there is video output, it is just black. These lines
seem relevant in the Xorg log:

(II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0
(II) intel(0):
Setting screen physical size to 304 x 228 [config/dbus] couldn't take
over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection
":1.3" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display0" due to
security policies in the configuration file)
(II) config/hal: Adding input device ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse

One other problem I have with that kernel is that my USB wireless LAN
card isn't seen, even though I have the correct prism54 module set in
the kernel, like in my new kernels where it works fine. By the way, if
you choose prism54 built-in, for some reason the kernel stops early in
the boot process for several minutes before continuing. Should I file a
bug?

Do you have an xorg.conf? I've been doing this without one, which works
with the other kernels.
