It has a core2duo processor, so I installed x86_64 arch. The laptop has intel 965GM graphics and there is X with vesa (and with the grml.org live cd). The screen is 1280x800. I followed the wiki page on intel and put MODULES="intel_agp i915" and FILE="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf" in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf . I put "options i915 modeset=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"cat /proc/fb" and "dmesg | grep drm" gives no output. There is no /dev/fb0I boot with acpi=off modeset.i915=1 (as it wouldn't boot with acpi).xf86-video-intel and xf86-video-vesa are installed. root[~]# modprobe i915 WARNING: Error inserting i2c_algo_bit (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko): No such device WARNING: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko): No such device WARNING: Error inserting drm_kms_helper (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko): No such device WARNING: Error inserting intel_agp (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko): No such device FATAL: Error inserting i915 (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko): No such deviceI have tried with an empty xorg.conf, one from an older laptop with the 915 chip and with the xorg.conf from "Xorg -configure"I tried with and without hal running.error output from startx:This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.

The module that is failing to load is almost certainly the 'video' module, which is an ACPI video driver. The reason that this module fails to load can only be that ACPI is in some way disabled, such as by 'acpi=off' in the kernel command line. Matthew W.S.
