44 I do remember having seen the i915 option previously. Is this
45 something new? This is the 3.0.6 kernel. I followed the instructions
46 at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml as closely as possible.
47 Note that...
48 "<*> Framebuffer Console Support" is actually mandatory enabled
49 "-*- Framebuffer Console support".
