The intelfb driver doesn't support the i9XX series of Intel chips, and also may not actually be loaded in two cases. One is if the user is already using vesafb, and second when the user isn't using fbdev at all. The case for coming up with a low level stub driver, seems to be a little stronger in this case rather than an fbdev/DRM glued approach.
