Re: [Mactel-linux-users] Problems with intel xorg driver on EFI (help needed from Fedora users)

[Harald <h_p...@gm...>]

Hi,
   unfortunately I do not run Fedora, but I have the same Intel Chip on
my mac. I can't really interpret your output but compared to mine:
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so
(II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.3.0, module version = 2.1.1
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.2

I use an older driver. So maybe try to downgrade.

Didn't know about that. I use Bootcamp and everything worked/s just fine.

Last but not least: Double-check your xorg.conf, it usually solved my problems with xserver.
