[lucas@tux ~]$ lspci | grep "VGA" 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) The screen turns black whenever X is executed, due to the following bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57365 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33062 Those sites havethe error output that is generated from X attempts to start. Nonetheless, the causes of this issue have already been figured: According to comment #32 in the freedesktop site ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57365#c32 ), the fix has been introduced in the 3.9 series. Believe it or not, the last stable release in which X is able to start is 3.6.11. The whole 3.7 and 3.8 series together were unable to tackle this issue down. Seems that Intel is not doing its homework here :( My question is: Knowing that the following patches solve the issue, can they be backported and included in the next release of 3.8 ?
