For information on how to permanently set a boot option in your grub config, please see <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Working%20around%20bugs%20in%20the%20new%20kernel%20video%20architecture> - the description is written for the opposite case when you need to /disable/ KMS, but you can set the i915.modeset option here to /enable/ KMS just as well.
