Note that the suggestion the others gave about disabling KMS is probably
not what you need. Disabling KMS means that it will also be disabled for
X11, not only for the framebuffer. As you can imagine this is a bad thing.
I'm aware of KMS because of my experiments with the 'nouveau' driver, but
I still have no idea what KMS really does.
In other words, I *cannot* imagine why disabling KMS is a bad thing, but I
would very much like to know :)
