I'm a long time lfs user who recently compiled CLFS, and was working
through cblfs.
Most of the advice I got on how to configure my kernel, video card,
etc. came from the Gentoo instructions for my hardware, which can be
found here
en.gentoo.wiki.com/wiki/Dell_Latitude_E6x00
When I actually got everything working, and tried to run X windows,
everything was going seemingly smoothly, but I got a blank screen.
It wasn't hard locked and I could ctrl+alt+f1 and kill xorg, but it
was still dissappointing.
I did some homework and believe the problem is related to kernel
modesetting. I have modesetting enabled by default for the i915 driver
in the kernel.
My pastebin is here

It might be a conflict with framebuffer settings
could you post either your lilo.conf or men.lst/grub.conf(Grub)
