Intel Corporation 82852/855GM graphics with linux?

Ok I am still having this issue using the intel driver in gentoo.

xf86-video-intel is already installed

I followed this guide but still no luck: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA

The problem is, when using "startx" the screen goes black and is frozen.

Xorg works fine with the vesa driver but is horribly slow.

Xorg.conf:

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	Screen      1  "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"

What happens if you simply move xorg.conf (so that there is no file named /etc/X11/xorg.conf) out of the way and restart X?

When there is no Xorg.conf the same thing happens. Its frozen with that same black screen.

However this time, Xorg.0.log changed:

I don't understand why xorg still reads from a config file when there is no config file.

It states that it is getting information about the hardware from a configuration file.

I don't get it.

Also, it seems to automatically pick the vesa driver instead of the intel one...

Bump.

Still having issues with this. :-(

Is there any more info you need?

I still can't figure it out.

I tried uninstalling the vesa driver and tried using "startx" with no "xorg.conf" but the same problem persists.

I also tried reinstalling xorg without the vesa driver but the same problem persists.
