Bug#779515: Should enable the qxl kernel driver when installed



Source: xserver-xorg-video-qxl
Version: 0.1.1-2
Severity: normal

I've enabled the kernel's qxl driver, but disabled by default so that
it doesn't conflict with wheezy's version of xserver-xorg-video-qxl.

Please install a modprobe configuration file with the line:

    options qxl modeset=1

(When I tried this on a VM host with virt-manager and QEMU from sid,
the qxl driver complained of missing features, so KMS still didn't
work.  However, the fall-back to UMS still worked.)

Ben.
