1 Hello list,
2
3 I have a small box with a quad 64-bit Celeron and integrated graphics During
4 boot, the UEFI screen is fine, but as soon as the kernel starts, it switches
5 the background to a dark grey; I can't tell whether the white is properly
6 white because of the grey background. I don't see anything wrong with the VT
7 colours, and X11 seems unaffected too with XFCE. I assume the problem lies in
8 the kernel.

10 Can anyone suggest what is wrong with my setup? Google doesn't help me.

43 I have what I think are the right kernel settings for th I915 driver. For
44 instance, from kernel help:
45 CONFIG_AGP_INTEL:
46 This option gives you AGP support for the GLX component of X
47 on Intel [...] and I915 integrated graphics chipsets.
