I'm not using those modules.  Unless KMS actively breaks because those
modules exist but aren't loaded, I don't see how framebuffer modules
are the problem.

I added VIDEO_CARDS and remerged xorg-server and xorg-drivers.  This
made no difference; the log file is exactly the same other than a
minor Mhz change.

It tells how to set up a config file for 1.8, which I had working
without a config file, so this particular upgrade guide seems rather
useless.  My only problem is that 1.9.2 doesn't set the right screen
size.  That probably does point to KMS in some manner, but a 1.8
upgrade guide doesn't deal with it.
