** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  I am running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Alpha 1 upon my Medion MIM2120,
  and am failing to get KMS to work for me.
  
  I have edited /etc/init.d/i915-kms.conf as instructed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting  and i am pretty sure i am getting the wrong results. This is run-down of what happens when i boot:
  1. grub. ok
  2. some text appears in low resolution. 800x600 or 1024x768 i think (excuse "some text", i am a linux newb... I can find out what it says if needed)
  3. the usplash ubuntu logo appears in the same resolution as the text
  4. more text, same resolution. last line is "loading hardware drivers"
  5. the screen is cleared, the resolution is set to 1280x800 (the correct resolution for my monitor) and the text continues.
  6. i am presented with a login screen
  
+ when i add the kernel perameter i915.modeset=1, instead of using
+ /etc/init.d/i915-kms.conf, the steps are almost the same as above. The
+ only change is that the line "unknown boot option: 'i915.modeset=1':
+ ignoring" appears during step 2, exactly as in the sixth second of this
+ video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbC6NQtcnGc.
+ 
  I am pretty sure this is not what is supposed to happen as i was hoping
  for at least the logo in the correct resolution.
