Recent X server (1.5.99.902 + git intel driver and git drm) also comes up correctly and detects the KMS. This amilo xi 3650 is a transportable SLI enabled laptop with Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset. By defaut the Intel card is active. I can force using one or other in the bios but expects one day I will be able to be able to dynamically switch like on vista. However there are still some problem with drm, Xorg, suspend/resume: 1. The X server needs interrupts (mouse or keyboard) to redraw things (e.g if I do apt-get update in a konsole, I see it freeeze but if I move the mouse I get the complete output instantly. Same thing when I start a new application, I have to hit shift or move mouse. The same user land setting with 2.6.28.7 behaves correctly, 2. I have a lot of problem with suspend to ram: when console comes up but with a cyan background and then X comes up completely garbled although I can distinguish some shadow of the windows and a konsole is still active if I enter init 0. Sometimes it purely freeze. If I switch back to tty (when I can), and restart kdm, then it starts only in 800x600 mode. Using krandrtray to put it back at 1920x1080, it simply freezes. If I can help testing anything, providing traces (dmesg, config, lspci, xorg config) let me know. PS: CC me if anwering to the list I'm not suscribed. -- eric
