The Intel driver is mentioned, but afterward, so are FBDEV and VESA.

[   979.729] (**) FBDEV(0): claimed PCI slot 0 at 0:2:0

Which is a little weird, the Intel probe code should have run first.  So
presumably, it did, and just didn't bind to the device for some reason.

They would, except the fbdev driver can't set arbitrary modes.  It can only
set things that the kernel already claims to support.
