Worth mentioning: I had upgraded my firmware, though I could have sworn I ra= n X successfully at some point between the firmware upgrade and upgrading po= rts (after which the problem appeared) Looking at the Xorg.0.log file, both video devices seem to have "BIOS @ ????= ????/65536", so perhaps the firmware upgrade is somehow screwing up bios ran= ge detection? SC pixel mode seems to work fine, though. Also, without an xorg.conf file, a warning "primary device is not PCI" shows= up, and the VESA drive fails to detect any devices. I really hope it's not the firmware like I suspect, otherwise I'm dead in th= e water until the Haswell graphics support comes along...=
