getting X going on eee 901 and stock kernel

Howdy guys,

I'm reworking my eee 901 and X won't start if I use the stock kernel.  I have been using the kernel26-eee901 package from the aur and it has been great, and X starts with it, but I'd like to vanillify and move on.  So to begin with, here's lsmod from the aur kernel:

Module                  Size  Used by
vfat                    8980  1

and here's the one from the stock kernel:

Re: getting X going on eee 901 and stock kernel

I have an Eee 901, which I happened to switch over to Arch just a week ago. I found it totally painless - all I did was install the xf86-video-intel package and xf86-input-synaptics to get everything working correctly (added my user to the video group to get "hardware acceleration" [sic]). I do not use an xorg.conf.

Let me know if you need more info.

Re: getting X going on eee 901 and stock kernel

hmm.  I wasn't in the video group; now I am.  x starts with or without an xorg.conf, but no touchpad.  plugged in a usb mouse and it works.

For the touchpad, look at the wiki synaptics page -> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics
