today I tried out KMS for the intel-chipset on my eee 901. It results in reduced flickering when starting X and a much higher resolution when booting up. So far, I’m glad it works now. The only thing that sucks is, that there is something wrong with KMS when I reboot via 3-finger-salute. It works perfectly when I type in “reboot”, but it does not come up in KMS again if I reboot via [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] … strange.
