   i reinstalled twice Xorg, tried with tazhw, tazx, ...
   it's showing in 800x600 instead of 1024x600, and glxgears is running very very slowly..
   i tryied to apply the xorg guide, nothing is working...

   when you look to xorg.0.log you see, that vesa is used not the intel driver...

   whats your menu.lst entry?

   normally, you dont need a xorg.conf

   you can try the next iso - here the intel driver is included

   http://mirror1.slitaz.org/iso/next/slitaz-next-170930.iso

   and you will see, how Xorg.0.log should be.....

   thank you kultex

   i tried by replacing vesa by fbdev or intel... then xorg just doesnt start...

   i will maybe try the next iso of slitaz... but :
   i wish prefer doing it with RC5 for testing
   i cannot move from RC5 to NEXT because it's needing a reinstallation, she just doesnt wants at all (data, config, softwares, etc..)

   here is my menu.lst

   title SliTaz GNU/Linux (Kernel 3.2.71-slitaz)
   (hd0.4)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.71-slitaz root=/dev/sda6 quiet modeset

   if i put "intel" on the driver section of the 60-device, anything i change in grub, xorg will not launch.
   i tryied regarding this from wiki:

   Depending on the hardware, the mode-setting feature must be turned on or off. To turn it off append one of the following to the kernel line in the GRUB boot-loader configuration:

   nomodeset
   i810.modeset=0
   i915.modeset=0
   If mode-setting is off by default and should instead be turned on, append one of the following:

   modeset
   i810.modeset=1
   i915.modeset=1

   to try out, start always with the iso from CD or usb

   you add to the bootline: screen=text

   then you get root

   run tazx and select the intel driver

   after installation you should get the info, if there are errors or not

   get back to tux with exit

   then startx

   when everything works its ok

   if you end up with a blank screen you kill X with strg+alt+backspace

   and post your Xorg.0.log

   if i replace vesa or fbdev by intel, it doesnt work on liveusb.
   i dont know what to do

   here are the logs
   https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/HHGkhadk26UJlWadMaqvwQ/raw
   https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/~yZ3HNXDM6n-BsGp9uonjQ/raw

    can you just try next....

    just boot it frugal, you dont have to change anything on the installation....

    make an extra grub entry in menue.lst

    hi kultex, ty again for the quick reply

    i just tryied out of testing next... by the latest iso on the mirror.
    so few things :
    -the driver for the intel card is working
    -because of this i can change the brightness of the screen
    -there is still no brightness level bar on screen
    -there is still an unconvenient notification saying updates are available (i launch my computer to work, play or learn, not to update it, IT is the way, not the purpose)
    -xterm and lxterminal are gone.... i had to go to terminal
    -wifi manager is not dealing with 802.11/EAP/TTLS (still only psk compliant)
    -pm-suspend is not available
    -wifi manager still asks for the root password (other win, mac or linux distros allow connect it just giving auth information, not root requirement)
    ..... will still have lot of fix information to give in the 2018Q2 End user quality report.

    so my goal now is to ask you :
    how could i export the intel driver from next to RC5? she doesnt want to reinstall at all, only the driver is needed.

    thank you very much

    regards

    (btw there is the official slitaz wallpaper, instead of the Next; why do not separate next of slitaz 5, slitaz6.. )

    you cant copy anything from next - it was just to know, that everything is ok...

    you should do now the same with last rolling - boot it with screen=text and then do all the steps I described before until startx
