Re: intel driver not working [SOLVED]

I used this to create my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier     "Layout0"
  Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Device"
  Identifier     "Device0"
  Driver         "intel"
  Option         "ExaOptimizeMigration" "off"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier     "Screen0"
  Device         "Device0"
EndSection

That worked perfectly for me, with the either intel or intel-legacy driver. I'm on an old Thinkpad X40 with the 855GM intel chip. Thanks so much, I was running into it on a fresh install and it was driving me batty.

Edit: In fact it works even when I remove the Driver line entirely, and remove the ExaOptimizeMigration as well. But if I remove the file entirely, X chokes and won't boot. Horray for minimal files!
