Dear all, I am not sure if this is just a user error/ too old userspace problem, but I recognized that when I enable kernel based modesetting on a intel 945 based samsung nc 10 netbook, I loose brightness control from within X and X resolutions are wrong (instead of 1024x600 it is 1024x1024) and xrandr does no longer have the all the modelines ranging from 1024x600 to 640x350... Trying to change resolutions / setting the brightness via xrandr results in error messages being printed. Furthermore, this same flag disables Xv support.. However, screen switches between terminal and X are quite fast now (without any flicker) and suspend and everything works stably. I recognized that I can set the brightness via setpci -s 00:02.1 F4.B=XX (XX ranging from 00 to FF) just fine... I am attaching the .config . Any ideas?
