Yes, the X.Org developers are making major changes ATM and there have definitely been regressions because of them. Best way to find out is to check whether booting with an earlier kernel solves the problem. If it does, it's most likely a kernel issue. If it does not, it's most likely an X.Org issue. > (On Gentoo, switching from X to console works with xf86-video-i810-2.1.1 > but results in a black screen with xf86-video-i810-2.2.0.90.) This sounds like that could be a bug I filed recently and which was solved in 2.2.1: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14481. Cheers, FJP
