Bug description:
  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.
