Binary package hint: xorg
xserver-xorg-video-vesa doesn't work when KMS is in use on my machines, but changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe to use fbdev lets failsafe X work. pm-utils has a method of determining of KMS is in use that could possibly be used in the /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer script to determine which driver should be picked for fallback_driver in there instead of just using vesa.
grep -q -E '(nouveau|drm)fb' /proc/fb
a nouveau KMS fb is called nouveaufb, a radeon KMS fb is called radeondrmfb and an intel KMS fb is called inteldrmfb. those are the only use cases of KMS currently. |
