Testing plain Linux 3.18 with the config from Debian experimental’s Linux
kernel package (and enable `UEVENT_HELPER` needed by Debian Wheezy/stable) and
passing `i915.fastboot = 1` to Linux on its command line, it indeed worked.
Unfortunately GRUB (1.99-27+deb7u2) only sets up a resolution of 640 × 400
despite asked for 1024 × 768, so I only see roughly a quarter of the image.
I’ll post the logs later and I’ll also try a newer GRUB version.
