I have an IBM Thinkpad X30 with the Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 04).<br><br>I am trying to install X with Arch Linux (kernel 2.6.32). I have the xf86-video-intel v2.10.0-1.<br><br>First, without X installed/running, if I boot the machine normally I get nothing but a blank screen. Same if I set "i915.modeset=1". Alternatively, if i use the "nomodesetting" kernel argument I can properly boot and use the console.<br>
<br>Output of dmesg when booted with i915.modeset=1: <a href="http://paste.pocoo.org/show/190811/">http://paste.pocoo.org/show/190811/</a><br><br>Xorg.0.log when started (via ssh) with i915.modeset=1: <a href="http://paste.pocoo.org/show/190807/">http://paste.pocoo.org/show/190807/</a><br>
<br><br>How can I configure my kernel/xorg so that I can boot and see my console, and also have the ability to start X?<br>
