Зачем перекомпиляция ядра?! Парню надо всего лишь поставить дрова для его Видеокарты и прописать их в xorg.conf!

ЗЫ Не пугай новичков в Линуксе так =)

For X11, the Intel Mobile 950GMA video card uses the driver intel and either intel or i810 may be specified in the configuration file. This is not to be confused with the predecessor driver that was actually named i810. For real hardware acceleration (DRM), either the vanilla 2.6 kernel driver i915 may be used, or the external DRM kernel driver i915 located in the xorg CVS tree. The 2.6.22 kernel driver provides adequate 2D and 3D acceleration.
