How bad... but "fbdev" also fails:
***
(II) LoadModule: "fbdev"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev
(II) UnloadModule: "fbdev"
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
***
So, if KMS is now a must for Intel cards, and VESA is not compatible with
KMS, I hope at least "fbdev" can be used transparently (no user
intercation needed)... Hummm, I wouldn't like to have an Intel VGA
chipset nowadays O:-)
