Is there really a module "modesetting"? Isn't it an aspect of the
driver? And doesn't the kernel parameter turn it "on"?
'modesetting' here refers to xf86-video-modesetting which is the minimal
driver to enable X to run on top of a KMS device. Similar in nature to
vesa (and fbdev), it is unaccelerated but allows the full range of video
modes exposed by the device.

Forgive the stupid question, but do you need the modesetting module to
access KMS if you're using i915?
