Vesa driver for Intel graphic card for 13.1 - help to create configuration


Hi,
We all know about the problems with Intel GPU's (intel driver doesn't work). However I want at least to set up my X Server to work with a vesa driver. Anyone knows how to do this? I tried directly to use "xorg.conf-vesa" shipped with Slackware but it doesn't work.

Edit your nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf by scrolling down to the device section then change the driver to "vesa" write it out then ctrl x then startx
