Comment 8 for bug 64666

Building the i810fb driver and its dependencies (agpgart, drm, intel_agp) into the kernel fixed this issue on these notebooks, but created another one:

Now, xorg can't load it's i810 driver (they argue over which one has control, I guess).

So it seems that the kernel driver isn't reading the kernel command line when loaded as a module.

See my posts on this in the similar debian bug for more info (towards the end of the bug report):

Pay particular attention to the entry timed "Sat, 20 Jan 2007 21:10:37 +0000" that refers to how drivers should implement kernel command-line parsing in module and static-link variations.
