Topic: One gotcha

With v0.3, Hyperbola has arrived.  I have successfully installed on a number of different machines, with only one gotcha.  Fantastic!

On my librebooted X60s, the stock installation will not bring up X, with this error:

(EE) modeset(0): Failed to initialize glamor at ScreenInit()

Is this an i686 issue? 

It seems to require the installation of 'xf86-video-intel' (which is available, despite not being listed in repos) and the creation of a 20-intel.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

Is there a better solution?  Thanks.

The xf86-video-intel package has been renamed to xorg-video-intel
