Under Backtrack 4 R1 and R2, I am unable to start X without running "fixvesa".
I am attempting to boot BT4R2 from a USB stick via loopback with Grub2 as the bootloader. BT4R2 boots fine, and leaves me with this issue with X.
I am attempting to boot BT4R2 on a Lenovo X61 Tablet which has the Intel GM965/GL960 Graphics Controller. I also have a 1400x1050 resolution screen.
This is the error produced after running "startx":
This is the error if I try to use the xorg.conf that is produced by my Ubuntu 10.10 installation on this laptop:(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)

Does anyone know what is happening here besides the obvious missing modules.dep and there being no agpgart device present?(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)

Another issue is, when I run "fixvesa", the Lenovo TrackPoint mouse does not work.
Everything works perfectly in BT4-Final.
Kernel module "i915" is not present in the new Backtrack 4 R1 and Backtrack 4 R2.
