** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg xserver-xorg-video-vesa doesn't work when KMS is in use on my machines, but changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe to use fbdev lets failsafe X work. pm-utils has a method of determining of KMS is in use that could possibly be used in the /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer script to determine which driver should be picked for fallback_driver in there instead of just using vesa. grep -q -E '(nouveau|drm)fb' /proc/fb a nouveau KMS fb is called nouveaufb, a radeon KMS fb is called - radeondrmfb and an intel KMS fb is called inteldrmfb. those are the only - use cases of KMS currently. + radeondrmfb a vmware KMS fb is called svgadrmfb and an intel KMS fb is + called inteldrmfb. those are the only use cases of KMS currently.
