Hi all, I'm trying to the the $Subject laptop up and running using the built-in Intel graphics chip: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device 00f7 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 53 Memory at c1400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at 3000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features Kernel driver in use: i915 And it seems that the xorg Intel driver just doesn't recognize it at all. Below is my Xorg.0.log file. I'm using a 3.5.0 kernel (with a few minor hardware patches for other bits of this laptop that don't work with 3.5.0, but no changes to the graphics drivers.) Any ideas or patches I can try out? thanks, greg k-h [ 616.279] This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation. It is not supported in any way.
