Comment 1 Roman Sergeev 2010-03-21 10:31:29 UTC
on asus eee pc 2g (i915 kernel module)
i try to use KMS by:
echo 'module_i915_args_2_6_33="modeset=1"'>>/etc/conf.d/modules

X works fine, but xdm start slowly

Comment 2 Roman Sergeev 2010-03-21 10:58:15 UTC
sorry
it's not a bug
it's a feature

i915 module in kernel:
