I checked /var/log/portage/elog after building xorg-server. It
complains...
==============================================

I do remember having seen the i915 option previously. Is this
something new? This is the 3.0.6 kernel. I followed the instructions
at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml as closely as possible.
Note that...
"<*> Framebuffer Console Support" is actually mandatory enabled
"-*- Framebuffer Console support".
