[Bug 563277] Re: Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS

[Christiansen]

I have to support Bryce Harrington in comment #7, running kernel
2.6.31-21.32 with KMS black listed on a couple of different i855 based
ThinkPads crashes X right away on X-startup and locks the box
completely. Downgrading to kernel 2.6.31-21.31or using i915.modeset=1 in
GRUB and the box runs fine for hours, even with the compiz enabled by
the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel  package.

This means that users are unable to boot LiveCD at all without knowing
that you need to set the i915.modeset=1 as a kernel parameter. So may I
suggest, that if this isn't changed, as a absolute minimum this is noted
in the final Release notes ?.
