 There has been no change in behavior since the last postings to this PR.
 
 To summarize:
 
   i82845:
     No monitor:  hangs on i915drmkms attachment
     CRT monitor (off):  hangs on i915drmkms attachment
     CRT monitor (on):  works
     LCD monitor (off):  works
     LCD monitor (on):  works
     Serial console:  video output disabled, but otherwise same as above.
 
   i82915:
     No monitor:  booting completes, but no video when monitor reattached.
     CRT monitor (off):  works w/default 1024x768 mode
     CRT monitor (on):  works
     LCD monitor (off):  works
     LCD monitor (on):  works
     Serial console:  video output disabled, but otherwise same as above.
 
   E7221:
     No monitor:  works w/default 1024x768 mode (X uses full size)
     LCD monitor (off):  works

 I should get around to the debug printfs mentioned in earlier postings...
