Comment 227 for bug 541492

Brian, bug # is 633593 which I think is what you were asking for. This is i845G.

i915.modeset=1, boots fine, KMS on. Runs O.K.

xorg.conf with "vesa" boots fine. Runs O.K.

Default gets "no screen found". Command line works so Xorg.0.log is available.
Relevant section (I think) of Xorg.0.log is in bug #633593:
[ 17.647] (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
[ 17.647] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 1
