With mrg@'s commit to fix this[1], I can now start an X session without
issue with the modesetting driver, and things generally work. I do see
what seems like a separate, much more minor regression where rendering
is incomplete (this doesn't occur with the intel driver, only
modesetting), e.g., the mouse pointer gets garbled when I move it
between windows. No idea where the trouble would be here.

Anyway, thanks to rjs@ and mrg@ for fixing this!

Dave
