Another "No devices found" in X problem

[Steve McCarthy <newsdebian@jetcity.org>]

Hello,

I followed this topic in December when Celejar was having difficulty, but 
that solution doesn't help me.  I recently bought a motherboard w/ H67 
chip-set and i5 processor. I managed to purchase it 8 hours before the 
Intel recall was announced - lucky me.

Xorg seems determined to load/run the vesa driver no matter what I do.  I 
gen'd a kernel with i915 DRM support and added i915 to modules to force 
loading.  Here are the DRM entries in config:

CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m
CONFIG_DRM_TDFX=m
CONFIG_DRM_R128=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
CONFIG_DRM_I810=m
CONFIG_DRM_I830=m
CONFIG_DRM_I915=m
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
CONFIG_DRM_MGA=m
CONFIG_DRM_SIS=m
CONFIG_DRM_VIA=m
CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE=m
# CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX is not set
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y
# CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_DRM_I2C_CH7006=m


This kernel produces these boot messages ('grep agp|drm'), but my reading 
suggests I should see more:

[    0.728270] Linux agpgart interface v0.103
[    7.258235] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810


The vesa driver works fine.  I've since removed it and fbdev trying to 
force the intel choice.  Here's the resulting X.log:

Any advice?  I've got 4 CPU's with nowhere to go.
