I have a laptop with Intel i5 processor and Intel GMA HD graphics. I'm now running a 3.1.0-2.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel on Linux Mint Debian Edition. I have gotten rid of the error message by following advice I found on a forum. I issued the following command: sudo su -c 'echo "softdep intel_ips pre: i915" >> /etc/modprobe.d/intel-ips-dep-i915.conf' Can someone here tell me whether this solution simply got rid of the error message, or if it may have fixed the problem causing the error message in the first place. I am a Linux user without and coding experience, so please excuse me if the question asked has an obvious answer. -- //CD
