 Can someone look at

and tell me what in there actually tells me which video driver got used (via 
auto-configure/no mention of Intel/VESA/FBDEV in xorg.conf)? The Intel driver 
is mentioned, but afterward, so are FBDEV and VESA.

[   979.729] (**) FBDEV(0): claimed PCI slot 0@0:2:0

Which is a little weird, the Intel probe code should have run first.  So
presumably, it did, and just didn't bind to the device for some reason.

 Do I need a device section specifying intel for server 1.9.3 to give what I 
need instead of XGA when there is no valid EDID? I would think monitor specs I 
provided to be sufficient.

They would, except the fbdev driver can't set arbitrary modes.  It can only
set things that the kernel already claims to support.

I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671140 but, does this belong in bugs.freedesktop.org/? Can something else be done to force use of all hardware supported modes that used to work?
