@Scott fbcon is loaded by the -intel driver by i830_kernel_mode_enabled() in src/i830_driver.c:
ret = drmCheckModesettingSupported(busIdString); if (ret) { if (xf86LoadKernelModule("i915")) ret = drmCheckModesettingSupported(busIdString); } /* Be nice to the user and load fbcon too */ if (!ret) (void) xf86LoadKernelModule("fbcon"); So basically i915 and fbcon are loaded when checking for KMS. -- fbcon loading a mystery (screen powers off) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
