I'm having issues with my intel 855GM graphics card on my gateway 3040gz laptop. I can't seem to get the intel driver up and running, so I have to fall back on the vesa driver, which is no good. I get NO 3d acceleration, and have to use the less-than-desirable screen resolution of 1024x768. Sabayon 4.2 KDE
Now, the things I have tried so far...
using 915resolution to reconfigure the mode... didn't help.
setting the mode in xorg.conf... didn't help.
Recompiling the kernel to use modesetting... didn't help.
Whenever I try to change the driver to "intel" in xorg.conf, when I restart X it says "Fatal server error could not bind memory for BO back buffer."
