Sorry, I just figured it out...I had done this:

echo options i915 modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf

to turn off kms for my intel driver because it was causing my lvds 
monitor to turn white during the boot sequence. I took that out, and 
added "nomodeset" to my kernel command line instead in /etc/default/grub 
and now it's working as expected. Hopefully this will help somebody else!
