Re: archck problems

What do you mean by "dri module"? The Archck kernel has drm modules, same as the stock kernel.

Please explain a bit more about your splash issue. Archck supports fbsplash - is that what you're referring to? What do you have to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see?

Re: archck problems

hi!

in my xorg.log I have something like this:

drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed

I've got Intel Centrino i910.

2. problem with frame buffer have begun when I installed
init-gensplash utils, when I boot my noteebok, I have blank screen,
If I change terminal by ctrl-alt-fX it looks ok

Re: archck problems

I'm not on Intel myself, but I think you should be using the i915 module. Does lsmod list it?

Have you made the necessary changes to grub/lilo for fbsplash? If not, have a look at the samples in /etc/splash.
