I've now downloaded the git archive of the kernel.  The above assumption
unfortunately is incorrect; the break for my video card happens between
2.6.27 (which is OK) and 2.6.28 (which is broken).  I really wonder that
noone has noticed this earlier.

BTW, the bisect link given in comment #7 is no longer valid.

Will now try to start bisecting.  Sigh.

From `make mrproper' to `make install' it takes an hour on my system –
I suppose that I have to do `make mrproper' each time, right?

Just to reassure:

  . 2.6.27 has these options:

      CONFIG_FB_UVESA=m
      CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
      CONFIG_FB_INTEL=m

  . 2.6.28 and newer has this:

      CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y
      CONFIG_FB_UVESA=m
      # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
      CONFIG_FB_INTEL=m

    According to the docs this should be sufficient to make the `vga=...'
    boot option work.
