Building the i810fb driver and its dependencies (agpgart, drm,
intel_agp) into the kernel fixed this issue on these notebooks, but
created another one:

Now, xorg can't load it's i810 driver (they argue over which one has
control, I guess).

So it seems that the kernel driver isn't reading the kernel command line
when loaded as a module.

See my posts on this in the similar debian bug for more info (towards
the end of the bug report):

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=398948

Pay particular attention to the entry timed "Sat, 20 Jan 2007 21:10:37
+0000" that refers to how drivers should implement kernel command-line
parsing in module and static-link variations.
