Sure, that possible. BTW, we've patched the intel driver. So if KMS is disabled on an intel machine, X silently falls back to fbdev.
But unless your machine really hangs up when loading the i915 driver with KMS enabled, I'd really recommend using at least the i915 KMS framebuffer and then using the fbdev X server on top of that (like discussed in another branch of this mailthread), since i915 then does e.g. suspend handling etc, which will probably work better than leaving that to vesafb and s2ram userspace. Not even speaking of strange laptop panel resolutions etc.
Good point. I fully agree with that. :-) Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
