I have i915 DRM compiled into my kernel and, it seems, the 2.9 driver
doesn't agree with it :-(

Kernel message:

kernel: module_register: module vgapci/i915 already exists!
kernel: Module vgapci/i915 failed to register: 17

 .. which then yields (from /var/log/Xorg.0.log) ..

(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to detect GEM.  Kernel 2.6.28 required.
(EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.

 [ .. ]

(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so
(II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0

So it looks like a slightly larger mine-field than that for which I
currently have the time .. thanks anyways,
