Fortunately I've set up lilo to boot up from separate "Production" and "Experimental" kernels. This allows me to reboot and flee to a sane config if things go wrong. It appears that nothing is simple. The Intel driver works great in X, without an xorg.conf. However, it insists on running framebuffer in text console mode. I *CANNOT* turn off framebuffer. Passing parameters to lilo via... append = "noexec=on noexec32=on nofb" doesn't help. In "make menuconfig" graphics/console, I see -*- Framebuffer Console support there is no box to uncheck. Could it be related to my /etc/make.conf VIDEO_CARDS="intel vga" Would changing that to VIDEO_CARDS="intel" (and re-emerging xorg) help? -- Walter Dnes
