18 So now, after downgrading to 2.6.24.5 and installing x11-drm, i get the
19 following output:
20
21 [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
22 [drm] Initialized i915 1.11.0 20070209 on minor 0
23
24
25 So indeed, the version is higher than the kernel's driver. But
26 unfortunatly, i couldn't find any things that are actually fixed now.
