Why not build it as a module and load it from initramfs?

If you build it as module, the initramfs scripts translate the video= parameter into something the module understands. Thus, video=i915 is sufficient if you enable KMS by default (CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y). Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
