I did find it necessary to force load i810 in order to enable full use of the Intel DDX driver, which also demanded explicit configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Using i810fb allowed enjoying the display's native mode on the vttys as well, but disallowed using the Intel DDX, while FBDEV did produce native mode via kernel command line specification. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
