I don't know, I mean, it was working, and now its not and X log shows no error messages... it looks like a mode setting error, and that error success thing... I've tried with and without fbdev, vesa and modesetting modules. If they're missing sometimes there's an error but with them and it still does the black screen.
Using VT number 7 Falling back to old probe method for vesa Falling back to old probe method for modesetting Falling back to old probe method for fbdev Loading submodule fbdevhw intel(0) [DRI2] Setup complete DRI driver i915 Allocated new frame buffer 1024x768 stride 4096 tiled from dmesg: agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0 Intel 945 GM Chipset [drm] memory usable from graphics device = 256M i915 0000:00:02.0 fb0 inteldrmfb frame buffer device I don't remember an xserver-xorg-video-modesetting driver, I feel like this is a modesetting thing, a conflict between that and the intel driver or something. I've gotten that XIO, I think it was error 11 sometimes but I've never seen it in .xsession errors like that.
