Your analysis seems 100% correct.

I'd suggest -

 - run lsmod, it'll tell you what modules are being loaded - one of
them will be controlling your video card -- for example an i915 card
loads intel_agp, drm and i915

 - name those modules in /etc/modules/blacklist.conf so they don't get loaded

but I agree with you, it's very strange that you need to go through this dance.

cheers,
