Intel driver KMS and exa = black screen
Hello, I just upgraded to xorg 1.6 today and have enabled KMS thanks to the howto thread in the fourms. Everything works great with UXA, It is when I try to enable EXA and try to startX I get a black screen and have to do a hard reboot. Does anyone else experiance this? My graphics chip is a Intel x4500HD.

KMS doesn't work with EXA. Newer drivers enable UXA automatically when KMS is used (but those "newer drivers" have other bugs), but the 2.6.3 version that moved to extra doesn't.

That would explain it. Thank you for clearing this up for me.
