i830 gets same problem with' Beta 2.6.35-20. That level of Beta is supposed to default to "vesa" according to Brian Rogers but does not, skips the intel driver on purpose, skips vesa by mistake, then fbdevhw gets "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration".

So I specified i915.modeset=1 which bypasses the "KMS blacklist", gets the default intel driver, KMS is up and running, and for ordinary use even internet videos running O.K.

Frankly, Maverick Beta you tube videos running better than any previous Ubuntu on this 1 gHz Celeron IBM Thinkpad R31. HD rather jerky of course.

For my i830 and my i845G running the default beta intel driver Version: 2:2.12.0-1ubuntu3 running fine for ordinary use. "vesa" also runs O.K. on this i830.

I'll be testing Beta updates to see if the bug of not defaulting to "vesa" gets fixed.
