Bug#601434: closed by Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> (Re: Bug#601434: xorg kernel modesetting req in sid)
I checked out the links you sent, but I don't understand why, if it
worked previously, UMS is being removed as an option now. The thing
is, I have to mess with it more, but I think KMS may work partly with
2.6.30 or 32 but I'm not sure. When I saw the update, I decided I
should update my kernel to see if that helped. On 2.6.36, I get a
black screen on boot with KMS!
Could you maybe explain to me more technically why UMS is being
removed? I think I have an Intel GMA 950.
