[Bug 661645] Re: (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected.

[Calvin.Ngei]

My ubuntu 10.10 (completely new install) starts X automatically using
fbdev instead of intel driver, so I can not open desktop effects. The
log file says:

intel(0): No kernel modeseting driver detected.
intel(1): No kernel modeseting driver detected.

and

...

IT STARTS X USING FBDEV INSTEAD OF INTEL DRIVER, WHY?

There is no /etc/Xorg.conf. I create one, wrote this in it to force
using intel driver:

Section "Device"

	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "intel"
	BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start, and this time X starts using intel
driver correctly and I can start desktop effects.

But I do not want /etc/Xorg.conf because my ubuntu is installed into usb
harddrive as removable desktop system. I want to boot it in many
different machines with different graphic cards (ATI, INTEL, NVIDIA,
etc.). I hope ubuntu 10.10 can detect different graphic cards and load
correct graphic drivers automatically.

This IS A BUG. WHY IT DO NOT LOAD INTEL GRAPHIC DRIVER BUT INSTEAD IT
STARTS X USING FBDEV? WHY WHY WHY?

My laptop: BenQ Joybook 5000U
graphic card: Intel 855GM (on board video card)
