You have built the Intel driver in the kernel correct? It is telling you |
23 |
you didn't build KMS support in your kernel and showing you what needs |
24 |
to be set in your kernel. |
25 |
|
26 |
This will probably correct your problem #3, by the way. |

The new link is /etc/timezone, not /etc/localtime. I would think if you |
45 |
renamed it that problem will go away? |

Try building KMS support (and the Intel driver if you haven't) in the |
65 |
kernel and report back. |
