Fortunately I've set up lilo to boot up from separate "Production" and |
| 8 |
"Experimental" kernels. This allows me to reboot and flee to a sane |
| 9 |
config if things go wrong. It appears that nothing is simple. The Intel |
| 10 |
driver works great in X, without an xorg.conf. However, it insists on |
| 11 |
running framebuffer in text console mode. I *CANNOT* turn off framebuffer. |

Passing parameters to lilo via... |

append = "noexec=on noexec32=on nofb" |

doesn't help. In "make menuconfig" graphics/console, I see |

there is no box to uncheck. Could it be related to my /etc/make.conf |

VIDEO_CARDS="intel vga" |

Would changing that to VIDEO_CARDS="intel" (and re-emerging xorg) help? |
