(it might be CONFIG_AGP_INTEL) It is hidden by "choice" with interesting name. Unfrotunately, if I do this, I get kernel messages for about a second, and then blank screen. Thinkpad X60... I now have: i915.modeset=1 video=inteldrmfb:mode=1024x768 fbcon=scrollback:64k on cmdline and: CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y # CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set # CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I830 is not set CONFIG_DRM_I915=y # CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is not set # CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set # CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set # CONFIG_DRM_VIA is not set # CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set # CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO is not set CONFIG_VGASTATE=y CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=y CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y # CONFIG_FB_DDC is not set ... CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=y > intelfb (CONFIG_FB_I810) is obsolete and only supports a pretty limited > part of intel GPU features, modesetting only for VGA output (and not > sure it works at all with recent GPUs). Perhaps something like this should be done? I had no idea that the choice is for modern drivers, too...
