Hi guys!
Im running current and Im having some troubles enabling KMS on my laptop.
I used slackpkg. First removed the obsolete packages (like device-mapper, libgtkhtml, libungif, lbxproxy, liblbxutil............), and then did the whole install-new and upgrade-all.
Ive got a an Intel 945GM integrated card, im booting the huge-smp-2.6.33-smp kernel without an initrd, and use GRUB bootloader.
I created a /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf file with the line "options i915 modeset=1", but X doesnt get to start.
I get to the "starting up X11 session manager...." part and all I get is a blinking cursosr on the top left of my screen
. If I fire up xorgsetup I also get the blinkng cursor
My Xorg.0.log says:

And if i try to load up the i915 module manually I get:

I reinstalled all kernel-* packages, but im still getting that behaviour.
I tried appending i915.modeset=1 and i915.modeset=0 to grub, and that made no difference.
Im out of ideas
Can someone give me a hand with this stuff? I like to have fun with emacs and lynx from time to time and Im having a blast with mpg123, but ive got to get X working eventually.
Thank you!
he also has 945 chipset if i remember right and im telling you from his expirience and from others that i came accross through the net.
