I see I see =).

Actually, just compiling a 3.12.7 kernel with the debian patches to
their 'sid' 3.12.6 -- seems to have worked =). Did it all make-kpkg
and manually asked for initramfs to be built and all is well....
Now, i915 DOES see the graphics and X.org now loads intel driver =),
at least with my modified x.org module...... I will need to experiment
and see if e.g. I can get the VGA output going, see how things go. =).

If I find the module modification for PCI IDs was really needed, I'll
try to create a bug about that, to help others with similar machine,
but seemingly later kernels aren't having a problem.

THANKYOU for helpful pointers after my second message, most useful!

Hi Everyone,


Just to introduce myself. I'm Steve Plenty 38 years old & I have been using Linux for three years now when I had enough of running Window, I still class myself a Newbie when it comes to using to terminal I am getting better using it all the time.I am a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Gnome "Classic" user, but I also use Linux Mint Cinnamon desktop along side Ubuntu. I also watch a Program on youtube called "The Linux Action Show" which is good to watch.


I would like to recomend to all "newbie" a PDF book how to use the Terminal "Bash-Beginners-Guide" I found? it on a website called The Linux Documentation Project.It is very helpful if you want to start to use the terminal.

I would like to go to the Bristol and Bath Linux User Group meettings. I would like to give out my Email address if anyone wants to get in contact me, I look forward to hearing from you.

Steve Plenty (keep it free, keep it open source !)

I was thinking more of the home user scenario. For example, a single
pc that sometimes runs Windows and sometimes runs Linux. Or different
devices used by various people in the house at variable times.

Think for yourself.
Otherwise you have to believe what other people tell you.
