If i915 doesn't give you a working display that's a kernel bug.
Thanks, I'll add my voice to the multitude over there.
Is it an X bug that X doesn't work with the driver if that option is
set ? Is it a kernel bug ?
Neither.
OTOH, I think this should belong to at least one of them as it's a valid
configuration option for the end user. They can reasonably choose to
not have a graphic display unless they start X.
In that way I think it's Both.
X has a bug in that it can't configure the driver properly.
The kernel is bugged in that it can't remove the driver and restore the
display back to what it "should be" without a reboot.
But I suppose both projects will look on this as some sort of "reasonable
limitation" and so WONTFIX.
Anyway, thankyou for your time.
