I just tried it on my Thinkpad T400, and after loading the right modules (i915 and radeon) with the right option (modeset=1), it worked as advertised. No problem with X. I also second the request to enable this option. (I reverted to unstable’s kernel, though, because my iwlagn wireless connection was instable with 2.6.34) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
