Thanks for this info.
Okay, I cross-post now to dri-devel. For readers there: I have an embedded
device with a fixed 800x600 LCD display. Kernel is vanilla 2.6.33 from
kernel.org, for the exact hardware see lspci output below.
My real problem is that with an older kernel / older X11 the xserver-xorg-
video-i810 used to work. But with current kernel and current X11 the xserver-
xorg-video-intel driver (from Debian unstable) doesn't work at all, it hard-
locks my board -> i have to reset. So I first thougth about getting a
framebuffer from Linux kernel. If the kernel itself can turn the intel
graphics to 800x600 frame-buffer mode, I think I have the first step done.
Unfortunately, modprobing i915 only yields me a totally white screen, but the
white screen disappears after a short period of time.
Apparently the framebuffer is now turned on, e.g. "cat /sbin/init >/dev/fb0"
brings garbage (as expected) to the window.
Now my question is if / how I can disable this white-screen.
-------------------------------------------------------------
# modprobe drm debug=12
# modprobe i915 modeset=1
... now I have a totally white screen ... for about one second ...

I cat'ted /proc/cmdline, so that you see that the compiled-in vesa framebuffer
isn't active. With vga=0x243 I can switch on the vesa-framebuffer with a
little help from the BIOS.
