If it was a kernel issue directly, I'm pretty sure that manually |

video handling code is probably fine. |

The fact that it won't work automiatcally, but still can work |
| 9 |
manually, strongly hints at a configuration issue. Though after your |
| 10 |
reply I'm not sure if it's something in /etc or if a setting in your |
| 11 |
kernel configuration is messed up. |
