Looks like I may not be running with GPU acceleration enabled. I think i remember you mentioning you had a custom Xorg config earlier in this thread.  If you do have you tested moving that out of the way and starting Xorg so that it can autodetect devices and drivers?  In my experience this actually works pretty great and will load the "modesetting" graphics driver which works well with the i915kms driver. you should also ensure your user is in the "video" group - although from this error it looks like that is not the issue. cheers, -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
