Bug Description

The newest kernel uploaded for Maverick contains the following:

  * SAUCE: i915 KMS -- support disabling KMS for known broken devices
    - LP: #563277
  * SAUCE: i915 KMS -- blacklist i830
    - LP: #542208, #563277
  * SAUCE: i915 KMS -- blacklist i845g
    - LP: #541492, #563277
  * SAUCE: i915 KMS -- blacklist i855
    - LP: #511001, #541511, #563277

I'm guessing these were meant for the backport of 2.6.35 to Lucid, where those chipsets are already blacklisted in the normal kernel. In Maverick, it doesn't make sense to blacklist them because the newer version of xserver-xorg-video-intel currently in Maverick requires KMS. So these changes should be reversed.
