Add "i915.modeset=1" at the end. This is the line in my menu.lst (using a 2.6.30 kernel, which BTW has improved *a lot* the intel's driver performance): kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-686 root=/dev/sda5 ro i915.modeset=1 You can test if KMS works on your system without making permanent changes. At boot prompt, edit the boot options by pressing 'e' twice (from memory, not sure), move to the kernel line and change it as before. If KMS works well, make the change in the menu.lst file.

Add "i915.modeset=3D= 1" at the end. This is the line in my menu.lst (using a 2.6.30 kernel,= which BTW has improved *a lot* the intel's driver performance):

kernel=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 /vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-686 root=3D/dev/sda= 5 ro i915.modeset=3D1

You can test if KMS works on your system witho= ut making permanent changes. At boot prompt, edit the boot options by press= ing 'e' twice (from memory, not sure), move to the kernel line and = change it as before. If KMS works well, make the change in the menu.lst fil= e.

Hope this helps.

Same issue here with the thinkpad X200.

How did you enable KMS ? I= have the same xorg.conf as your self
