We're considering blacklisting KMS on this card to work around bug
#511001, which I believe will probably work around this bug too.  It
would be useful if people who are encountering this problem could try
booting with KMS disabled (by adding “i915.modeset=0” after “quiet
splash” in the kernel boot line).

If there seems to be a consensus favoring blacklisting KMS, then we'll
reassign this bug to the kernel and have andy blacklist for us.

If anyone finds that their i855 system works *worse* with KMS turned off
for some reason, please shout; I wouldn't expect turning KMS to cause
regressions so this would be a surprise, but with i8xx weirder things
have been known to happen!
