Description of problem: i965. no xorg.conf present Boot a recent kernel with 'i915.modeset=1'. On udev module load, this triggers a modesetting into a framebuffer (1680x1050 in this case, Dell 2005FPW). X then tries to start, and fails: (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, 965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, Intel Integrated Graphics Device (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00@00:02:0 (II) resource ranges after xf86ClaimFixedResources() call: [0] -1 0 0xffffffff - 0xffffffff (0x1) MX[B] [1] -1 0 0x000f0000 - 0x000fffff (0x10000) MX[B] [2] -1 0 0x000c0000 - 0x000effff (0x30000) MX[B] [3] -1 0 0x00000000 - 0x0009ffff (0xa0000) MX[B] [4] -1 0 0x0000ffff - 0x0000ffff (0x1) IX[B] [5] -1 0 0x00000000 - 0x00000000 (0x1) IX[B] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev (II) Loading sub module "fbdevhw" (II) LoadModule: "fbdevhw" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/linux//libfbdevhw.so (II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.4.99.901, module version = 0.0.2 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 4.0 (II) FBDEV(1): using default device (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa Fatal server error: Cannot run in framebuffer mode.
