Bug#686939: linux-image-3.2.0-3-686-pae: fb: conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver

I put /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf in the live CD filesystem.squashfs, with its contents: options i915 modeset=1 and even when I put nomodeset vga=788 in the boot parameters, now the live system would enter KMS mode directly. On the other hand, I added nomodeset vga=788 i915.blacklist=yes in the boot parameter, and apparently it entered framebuffer mode 800x600. So my question is, how can I let Debian Sid honor nomodeset vga=788 without i915.blacklist=yes in the boot parameter and without /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf inside the live system?

This happens no matter it's 686-pae kernel, or i486 one. Since the Intel VGA card in very common, please consider to make framebuffer work for KMS disabled. DRM drivers with KMS *are* framebuffer drivers. I think you mean 'keep VGA console working'. How to reproduce this: 1. Create a Debian live based on Sid: http://live-build.debian.net/cgi-bin/live-build 2. Burn the created iso on a CD, then boot it on a machine with Intel VGA card 3. In the 1st boot menu of isolinux, press Tab key to modify the boot parameters. Just append nomodeset vga=788, then press enter to continue boot 4. The above error will shown, and it just hangs there. This is really weird because i915 just shouldn't register a console at all if you do that... Ah, but xserver-video-xorg-intel still installs a configuration file which *overrides* nomodeset (/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf). (There was a very good reason for doing that in squeeze, but I think it can be dropped now.) So you could avoid installing xserver-video-xorg-intel, or empty the configuration file. Still, the kernel should be able to switch without hanging (and normally does). Does this *only* happen if you use 'nomodeset vga=788' or does it also happen if you use 'vga=788'? It only happens when I use 'nomodeset vga=788'. Does /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf exist in the live system? Apparently /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf is from package xserver-xorg-video-intel, however, since the Debian live CD I created is in for text mode, this package xserver-xorg-video-intel is not included. Therefore no /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf in the live system. I believe this is the same case for xserver-xorg-video-radeon, Steven. However, when using vga=788, actually it won't work since the console screen is not in the 800x600 text mode. It's in KMS mode I believe. Yes, by default i915 will load and set the screen mode immediately.
