Once upon a time, in the days of xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-420.fc8,
I could boot my desktop machine into the framebuffer in runlevel 3
(kernel param vga=792), and then start X with an /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file that included the section:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "intel"
EndSection

After updating to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.18.20080107.fc9, I
must alter my xorg.conf file to use the framebuffer driver. Intended
behavior?
