Agreed, although I don't have access to that T40 at the moment.
Rationale:
* In 2010.04, removing the auto-generated xorg.conf on the T40 was a
workaround. As far as I know, grml-x these days does more or less
the same.
* On the X31 which has a similar graphics card[1], grml 2010.04 had
same effect, but not in grmldailysid101125 any more.

I tend to close this bugreport. Current Grml dailys (daily.grml.org) use a new
xorg.conf configuration mechanism that should address the X.org configuration
issues. KMS is in place as well, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Ah ok. Then it should be "radeon.modeset=0" for your system.
Another thing that *might* be worth a try:
* boot Grml
* invoke "X -configure" as root and place the resulting xorg.conf
file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf
* invoke either grml-x (without the -force option :)) or
/usr/bin/startx as user grml so the new xorg.conf will be taken
This should provide a X.org configuration that's suggested directly
by the X.org server instead of grml-x.

Hi,
booting grml 2010.04 on an ThinkPad T40 notebook I noticed the display
of the X server is hard to read: Pale, poor contrast. When trying to
debug it turns out this happens always after the first time X was
started. Bringing it down and starting again yields the expected
behaviour.
For me, this is not critical at all as I use the graphical mode of
grml rather seldom. It might be of interest for other, hence this
report.
Some facts:
* grml was booted both from the CD-ROM and via USB
* It doesn't matter whether X was started via the "x" in the menu at
the end of the boot process; or using grml-x.
* The card is a:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: IBM ThinkPad T42 2373-4WU
Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11
Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at 3000 [size=256]
Memory at c0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at c0120000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: radeonfb
* You had suggested "i915.modeset=0" or "nomodeset". Well, this isn't
an Intel card, the latter did not change anything.
Regards,
Christoph
