Hi,
I have a thinkpad x60s, and all of the linux wiki's for the laptop I have seen have said to use the i810 driver to get the video card working. So, I followed the gentoo modular x.org guide to install >7.0 x.org and emerged xf86-video-i810 with ~x86 keyword.
In my kernel I built in support with CONFIG_FB_I810=y, my make .conf has VIDEO_CARDS="i810 vesa fbdev"
So then I found this xorg.conf from someone else who has the i810 driver working on their x60s:

But then when I try to start x, it seems to load the screen, i can move my cursor for like a half a second, then it exists and says:
Fatal: could not find module i915
why is it trying to find i915? I am trying to use the i810 driver, and *no where* in my kernel or xorg.conf is there a mention of 915
what could I be missing?
Thanks!
George
