Hello,
recently I tried to make kernel modesetting work on my Asus Eeepc 901
laptop (it has an Intel 945GSE display chipset).
Whenever KMS is activated in kernel (2.6.29-rc6) the LCD gets black (no
output), but VGA output is working OK. If I deactivate KMS the built-in
LCD (AUOptronics model) works OK.
My software system configuration is: Xorg server 1.6, xorg-video-intel
is latest from git (since 2.6.2 does suffer from memory leaking error
previously discussed here).
Xrandr output with KMS:
....
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 2048 x 2048
VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Xrandr output witthout KMS ( external monitor disconected):
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 1024 x 1024
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
195mm x 113mm
1024x600 60.0*+
800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9
720x400 85.0
640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
I tried to make some changes to LVDS quirks inside of the
xorg-video-intel driver, but had no success. I also saw that there were
some kernel changes related to intel DRM lately, maybe the problems are
in the kernel ...
Do you know what else can I try?
