Unfortunately blackthunder's method is not working for me (IFL90)

Recently I've tried two distros (namely ARCH and Fedora) and BOTH have the same problem as Ubuntu. Therefore problems seems to be in kernel itself

I've managed to dig out that compal and other VBI have graphic card BIOS (vbios) saved on mainboard instead of card itself. It would explain why some 8600M works while others don't.

The same post gives some interesting ideas which I'll try soon... best bet is "pci=bios" in grub kernel invoke
