I'm not sure what KMS is for on intel video graphics?

i830 Thinkpad R31 boots to blackscreen. nomodeset in kernel line turns off KMS then boots O.K. but of course KMS is turned off. That's another launchpad bug.

i845 ThinkCentre 2.0 gHz Celeron works O.K. but Noticeably slower than generic video driver vesa, for example GtkPerf from Synaptic:
