   Hi Reptile,

   Is the last rolling a vesa driver ? because now it works
   At least something appears on the screen. But no way to output on an external screen , neither to change the screen resolution ... :(

   is it normal that i have screen0 , screen1 , screen2 , screen3
   (and same for devices, monitor) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d ?

   I've got an hybrid Intel HD Haswell + Radeon 8850m in my laptop , should I turn off one of them at boot ? What can I do ?

   Linux/BSD allows you to have, if I remember rightly, 12 screens (VT,s) by default, usually 8 are configured, but this can be tweeked.

   Most window manager/desktop environments have 4 desktops configured by default, again, this can be changed.

   It isn't like MS Windows, it is a much more flexible OS - with lots to learn if you want to.

   The linux kernel supports up to 63 (1..63) VT.
   VT 1 to 6 are text (# grep getty /etc/inittab), X11 may use VT 7 or more (you can start more X servers)

   # conspy -f 1
   # conspy -f 2
   ...
   # conspy -fcs 8
   # conspy -fcs 63
   # chvt 63
   ...

   I'm ready to to do a step by step process with one of you and give the output. I think it may be usefull for slitaz's prospectives as i'm the owner of the lastest intel cpu coupled with an extra graphic chip ; this seems to be a new trend among laptop constructors.

    please post the output of lspci -nnvv

    most of theese laptops have 2 grafic cards - an intel + nvida or amd

    at least the intel card you should get easy

    boot with the option "screen=text" log in - get root and run tazx and select the intel driver log out to tux with "exit" and startx

    so I guess the intel card is working correctly ???

    for the hybrid grafics - I think, it should work - switcheroo is built in the kernel

    3340 CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO=y

    for the ati grafic card this should be installed

    firmware-radeon
    xorg-xf86-video-ati
    mesa
    mesa-dri
    mesa-dri-ati
    mesa-demos

    more info you get in the Arch Wiki

    Hi Kultex,

    1° The basic vesa in the rolling works but no extra resolution in lxrandr neither external screen available

    2° and I've installed all the intel stuff "xorg-video-intel" with it's dependencies and made of it a new iso. Reboot. But same problem than before (don't even know if it's still vesa render ? how I can I know ?)

    3° did the same than point 2° but for xorg-xf86-video-ati (and all dependencies)

    tazx leads to a configuration but xorg error
