6 I'm not using those modules. Unless KMS actively breaks because those
7 modules exist but aren't loaded, I don't see how framebuffer modules
8 are the problem.

12 I added VIDEO_CARDS and remerged xorg-server and xorg-drivers. This

18 It tells how to set up a config file for 1.8, which I had working
19 without a config file, so this particular upgrade guide seems rather

21 size. That probably does point to KMS in some manner, but a 1.8
22 upgrade guide doesn't deal with it.
