I'd just like to add that my Dell x300 machine starts up perfectly (it didn't before), now that I've added i915.modeset=1, just like the original bug report says.

Yeah, it's a boring "me too". But I wanted to weigh in since other bug reports hint that KMS was disabled when it was assumed that a few lucid alpha testers that wanted modeset=0 represented a majority. So this is to balancing the scales :)

Oh, and super thanks for the great work, all of you!
