[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

X is unable to start on a Acer AOD270 intel atom netbook  with a gma3600
chipset when the gma500_gfx kernel driver is loaded.

(xorg.0.log)

[    41.352] (EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to detect GEM.  Kernel 2.6.28 required.
[    41.352] (EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
[    41.352] (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
[    41.353] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[    41.353] Fatal server error:

Workaround is to blacklist  the gma500_glx module, which  allows X to
start by falling back to the vesa FB driver.

Applying the patch described here fixes the problem without the need to
blacklist.
