I can't get a 1680x1050 framebuffer (my native resolution) or any widescreen
framebuffer on this intel iMac and the console looks pretty bad because of
it. The best I can use is 1024x768. I have a Radeon HD 2400 XT video card.
The Radeon framebuffer "radeonfb" in the kernel doesn't support this car
Sometimes when I start or stop the X server, for instance at boot when GDM
loads, or when I logout of Gnome and GDM is restarted, the screen goes blank,
and the monitor shows an orange light as if it were disconnected from the
computer.
The computer is still on, but I think it is frozen, because

Well I think I fixed the problem by upgrading the kernel to
vanilla-sources-2.6.31-rc7 and xf86-video-intel-2.8.0 (and recompiling
against the new kernel), and switching to the i915 module in the
kernel. I did this because of the suggestions at

Hey, nevermind about my USB wireless-LAN card not working, it just
requires a different firmware for that kernel, I looked it up (although
the problems with it hanging still remain). By the way, I know I should
be replying to the messages I already sent right? But those messages
don't appear in my
Well I tried the .28 kernel with the package versions you suggested, and
when the X server starts, it's just a black screen BUT the machine
doesn't freeze and there is video output, it is just black. These lines
seem relevant in the Xorg log:
(II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0
(II)
And I just sent the last two messages in the wrong order because I
forgot I still only had a draft of my first message, I never actually
sent it until I realized that.

Yes, it's me again. I think upgrading to the newest unstable
vanilla-source (31-rc8) makes it definitely go faster, but Firefox is
still a little laggy. Although Epiphany really isn't, so I think it's
just Firefox's fault. Anyway, my computer actually did freeze once. Just
wanting to provide an upd

I need libXfont-1.4.0 because xf86-video-intel-2.7.99.902-r1 depends on
xorg-server-1.6.3 which depends on libXfont-1.4.0. But libXfont fails to
emerge. Here is the end of the libXfont build.log:
libtool: link: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared .libs/dummy.o
