Lenovo X201 Graphics in Fedora 13

March 29, 2011

I wanted to use the intel X11 driver with my Lenovo X201 laptop. However, X11 was failing to start, with the following error message in the log: 

intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected
To fix the problem, I needed to edit my kernel boot options. I added the following to the kernel boot line in my grub.conf: 
i915.modeset
