For reference, on the -intel side:
| commit 455f2939a661764ebb8d1747d44e16a0a8937808
| Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>

| 
|     Do not claim the PCI device if !KMS
|     
|     By returning FALSE whilst probing if we can't find a KMS driver, we
|     allow X to fallback to trying the VESA driver -- rather than failing.
|     
|     The initial idea for this was by Julien Cristau.
