--- Comment #10 from Bob Raitz <pappy_mcfae at yahoo.com> ---
I detect that I might not have been clear. Let me re-iterate:

1. This machine boots to a CLI. It does not boot directly to X.

2. What is or isn't abandonware is immaterial as far as I can tell. I am using
the latest X video drivers available for intel. All I care about is that I can
see my boot process, then be able to log in, then be able to start X, like I
have been able to do from the time that KMS became mandatory; like I am able to
boot with every kernel version up to 3.11.10.

3. X starts and runs normally if I wait for the boot process to finish, log in,
then hit the up arrow key to bring up startx (blindly). At that point X starts
and runs normally. Upon exiting X, the CLI, which did NOT exist before starting
X suddenly exists upon exit from X.

4. The .config file that I sent was originally from a 3.11.0 .config that
worked properly. Any deviation from that .config would be due to make oldconfig
asking for certain things to be updated.

I will try the patch, but I am a bit gobsmacked that something of this nature
would be allowed to be called stable, when it has yet to be functional, much
less stable, on my machine and others, and we're already at 3.12.5. I don't
expect perfection. I do expect minimal operation.
