+xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.9.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ Starting with this version, the intel driver enables kernel mode setting
+ (KMS) by default for 830 and later chips. This comes with a framebuffer
+ driver which enables native resolution on the console. KMS also allows
+ faster VT switching and mode changes, as well as e.g. DisplayPort support.
+
+ In case of trouble KMS can be disabled with the 'nomodeset' kernel command
+ line parameter, or by editing /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf.
