Hi Barry,
many thanks for this wary5.2 !
Summary:
Here maybe needed
- to add /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf and set value to 1
- to install an extra video-driver pet - i.e.
xf86-video-intel-2.3.2-patched_lenny7-w5c.pet from wary pet repo - for running Xorg7.6 (whose pet is ...already...delivered with a «ton» of additional drivers...).
I am not sure if all this is right or wrong ? It howerver looks working
- frugal bootup in ca. 30 seconds

Here is the whole story:
1. running the original Xorg 7.3.0
First live-cd boot-up on X.Org 7.3 worked OTB on vesa driver selecting <Probe> on xorgwizard;
afterwards re-ran xorgwizard to <Choose> Intel driver ---> also got OTB X desktop to run on intel driver.
2. Xorg 7.6.0 test
Then created a savefile; and got a try installing Xorg 7.6.0. Got X to crash if intel driver <Choosen> running xorgwizard.
X desktop only worked on vesa.
I noticed the file/etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf was not present.
So had to import it and settled it with value = 1.
I also added the xf86-video-intel-2.3.2-patched_lenny7-w5c.pet as I thought the intel-video driver version not matching with the Xorg 7.6 - Xorg.0.log indeed told «[ 1310.825] (EE) No devices detected.»
Got X to crash one more time !

comment: Xorg.0.log just after installed the Xorg7.6 upgrade pet and <Choose> the intel driver

So, that was yesterday; as X was crashed, I had to force the power switch off by keeping the power button on at least 4 seconds ...etc.
Now today, Xorg seems to work on intel driver!...without doing anything special.
Once my PC on, wary 5.2. opens on the very same savefile. I even thought it was starting with the vesa driver.
Then doing
tells that the intel driver is used !
