kms etc ati nouveau intel

[Sebastian Glita]

Hi,

I have for some time conflicts with (I suppose) kms and git sources of ati/intel/nouveau X drivers/server.

For example, x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel it doesn't work with versions greater than 2.20.6.

My 3 setups are (output of lspci -vknn, kernel 3.6.9-pf config):

1. Intel GMA x4500MHD [X server 1.13.0-r1, intel driver 2.20.6] [Chipset G45]

I put in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf' in "Section Device" just Identifier/Driver (intel,radeon,nouveau).

I hope I'm not just kms-stuff out of date.


Appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Sebastian
