Bryce, thanks much for the explanation. With more and more dependence on X then stability in the X code is even more important.

Just booted i915.modeset-0 and default video driver:
Xorg.0.log
....
(WW) intel(0): i845 or i855 chip detected. Disabling DRI to prevent system instability.
(**) intel(0): Framebuffer compression disabled

On the surface seems to be what is expected except does load DRI modules anyway for some reason?
