We're considering blacklisting KMS on this card to work around bug #511001, which I believe will probably work around this bug too. It would be useful if people who are encountering this problem could try booting with KMS disabled (by adding “i915.modeset=0” after “quiet splash” in the kernel boot line).

If there seems to be a consensus favoring blacklisting KMS, then we'll reassign this bug to the kernel and have andy blacklist for us.

If anyone finds that their i855 system works *worse* with KMS turned off for some reason, please shout; I wouldn't expect turning KMS to cause regressions so this would be a surprise, but with i8xx weirder things have been known to happen!
