Thank you for both comment and references! I did find it necessary to force load
i810 in order to enable full use of the Intel DDX driver, which also demanded
explicit configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Using i810fb allowed enjoying the
display's native mode on the vttys as well, but disallowed using the Intel DDX,
while FBDEV did produce native mode via kernel command line specification.
