Hi Timo,

I don't know what "kms" is.
Regardless, to recap my situation:

1. With intel-2.13.0 driver, Xorg-7.6 fails to start up with
 "(EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected"

2. Now, with the newly released intel-2.14.0 driver
Xorg-7.6 fails to start up with
 "(EE) No devices detected."
The latter behavior is what is shown in the 'Xorg.0.log' I attached
for "us" to analyze and hopefully to fix the intel driver
(as I mentioned, the vesa driver works OK, so the failure
appears strictly related to the intel driver).

Note, the previous error (2.13.0 - No modesetting) cannot be seen.
I see two possibilities:
2.1. In changing the driver from 13 to 14 the bug was fixed.
2.2. The current error (No devices) comes first and, because of
the ensuing crash, you don't get a chance to enjoy the "modesetting"
one (so to speak).

Thanks for your comments,
