Bug#398964: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686: i810 fb module conflicts with X
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686
Version: 2.6.17-9
Severity: important
When I load i810 fb module (which by itself works fine with my adapter), X (also a i810
server) won't load and I get a message about X being unable to access the hardware. However,
when I load vesafb (which I don't want to), both work fine. X also works fine when no fb.
I'm not quitw sure if it's a kernel or X bug, but I report it as a kernel bug based on the
fact that X works fine, except when i810fb module loaded.
