Bug Description
X is unable to start on a Acer AOD270 intel atom netbook with a gma3600 chipset when the gma500_gfx kernel driver is loaded.
(xorg.0.log)
[ 41.352] (EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to detect GEM. Kernel 2.6.28 required.
[ 41.352] (EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
[ 41.352] (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
[ 41.353] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[ 41.353] Fatal server error:
Workaround is to blacklist the gma500_glx module, which allows X to start by falling back to the vesa FB driver.
Applying the patch described here fixes the problem without the need to blacklist.
