Comment 127 for bug 608907

By the looks of the logs, the following appears in /var/log/messages when loading i915 *without* KMS:

May 26 16:39:05 vaioz kernel: [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

when loading i915 *with* KMS, nothing at all appears in the logs. There's nothing in /var/log/messages between where boot is complete, and when the next boot starts up. I will attach the entire /var/log/messages . Here's my timing notes. All refer to today, May 26th:

16:36:28 - boot complete
~16:37 - modprobe i915 , screen blank with backlight on

16:38:35 - second boot complete
~16:39 - modprobe i915 modeset=0, screen fine
