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.
I ran into a weird video issue a month or so ago and there was a lot of
head scratching. Just out of curiosity, do you have this built into the
kernel under 'General Setup"?
System V IPC
Again, I have that built in the kernel not as a module. It fixed my
problem and I hope it will help on yours to.
