Do you mean the "scfb" driver, instead of the intel one?

I haven't managed to make it work, but didn't try very hard. I read it
was unaccelerated, and I have already vesa that suits all my
non-accelerated needs, so I still wonder what would be the point of scfb
in my particular situation.

It doesn't seem to be present on the CFT image, because when I removed
all xorg conf, it showed exactly the same symptoms as my SNA testing, so
I guess (at least on the CFT image) X defaults to intel driver with SNA
acceleration.


Thanks for the help,
Natasha
