Hmm.  This is on ubuntu edgy, using xorg 7.1.1ubuntu6.  It doesn't get 
much more recent.  Maybe there's a dev package I'm missing, but I 
installed xserver-xorg-dev.  Do you know what file it should be in? 
Perhaps I can find the package that should contain that file.

This is an LCD TV connected via vga, so it appears as a monitor. 
However, I later read that the G965 isn't yet supported in the 
modesetting branch, so you probably don't want a bug filed for that. 
That's an interesting failure mode though, to work in every way except 
actually displaying anythin.  Any word on when the G965 will be 
supported in modesetting?  This is the final piece of my hardware 
support puzzle for my media center box.

Thanks for your work on the driver!
