KMS, VT, xrandr, everything seems to work out of the box. I've also tested on a KVM/Libvirt system on Linux with a QXL display card, no modesetting here, but X.org and the shell work fine, also with VT enabled. The only strange thing I have is that X never starts in the VT resolution. - The monitors on the Intel systems are 1600x900 (correct resolution in VT), but X starts at 1024x768. - The KVM VM does not have KMS but X starts at 1280x768 (!). Apart from this glitch, everything else is fine. As a side note, I was looking at a way to set my keymap and leave hotplugging enabled without disabling Hald and fiddling too much with X configuration. Web searches return a lot old and confusing answers; but by looking at a Fedora system I discovered that is actually very easy. Just create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with only this content: Section "InputClass" Identifier "system-keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "it" EndSection This way, any keyboard attached to the system gets the correct layout. Probably it's all obvious, but since I could not find this information anywhere, maybe it should be added to the wiki.
