Please see this as a success report, not an error report. I can provide more info/testing if someone is interested in any errors I've encountered. I think I've seen most of this already reported: The build process went fine, except for the mergebase.sh. It failed after I manually deleted the conflicting files and run the script again. So I just unpacked the backup manually. ModulePath in xorg.conf needed to be adjusted (this is mentioned on ModularXorg wiki page, but not in the upgrade instructions). After suspend/resume there were serious display problems (screen mainly black and windows not updated etc). The culprit was some modelines I added to support the 1280x800 native display resolution. Fortunately, those no longer seem to be necessary. With modelines removed, this no longer happens. While playing around with xorg.conf, sometimes X wouldn't start any longer with some error: (EE) I810(0): V_BIOS address 0x4ae00 out of range (EE) I810(0): VBE initialization failed. In this case, xorg will only start after a reboot.But haven't seen the problem with my current xorg.conf. It seems like it only happens when xorg.conf is changed. I got this error when trying to start any of the mesa demos: X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 158 (DAMAGE) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 () Serial number of failed request: 48 Current serial number in output stream: 49 I added this to xorg.conf as a workaround: Section "Extensions" Option "DAMAGE" "Disable" EndSection Too my big surprise, after that, I got DRI working with my Intel 855GME card. Basically, a success story with some minor quirks. Big thanks to everyone involved. Stefan
