Re: X not working after upgrade to 3.4

[Ivan Uemlianin <ivan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Justin

Thanks for your help.

2: If switching to the vesa driver is just

   $ diff xorg.conf.intel xorg.conf.vesa
   69c69
   < 	Driver      "intel"
   ---
   > 	Driver      "vesa"

and

   # Xorg -config xorg.conf.vesa

Then that was worse: the crash was faster, and the error log was longer. 
config and log here:

1: I downloaded the i386 tarball, and I see 
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-intel.  Is there a man page or a tutorial 
that will explain how I should delete the existing driver and install 
the old one?  For the last five years my main machine has been a mac.

Thanks

Ivan
