** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
+ From dmesg:
+ [    0.000000] ACPI Error: A valid RSDP was not found 20090521 tbxfroot-219
  
- I'm currently posting this using the vesa driver since -intel is too
- excruciatingly slow. The /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old contains the Xorg log
- from when I used -intel last X session.
+ It seems this ACPI error leads the acpi/video.ko driver to fail to load,
+ which causes the drm driver to fail to load.

  Anyways, the symptoms while using -intel are that everything becomes excruciatingly slow while Xorg eats up all available CPU.
  Looking at the log I believe this to be the cause of failure:
  
  drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
  [drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
  (EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for : No such file or directory
  (EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
  
  This happens on a beta live CD as well as with a fully-updated 9.10.
  
  I believe that the DRM errors lead to the driver falling back to an
  extremely slow (slower than vesa) software rasterizer.
