IIRC that won't currently work well, because
probe_devices_from_device_sections will claim the pci device for the
intel driver, at which point fbdev's xf86ClaimFbSlot will fail and it
will be disabled before intel has a chance to run its init stuff (so
before we know if it's busted).  So you need to either uninstall intel,
or know the magic xorg.conf incantation to use fbdev.

Cheers,
