Video driver falls back to VESA

[mecho]

To make it more understandable. This is what happens. I used my Knoppix flash on another laptop with Radeon video. Knoppix did not manage to load the Radeon driver properly, so it loaded Vesa. Then when I went back to my laptop, Knoppix booted with Vesa driver - it didn't even make an effort to load the Intel driver even though it works flawlessly. It is because there was already an entry in /etc/sysconfig/xserver saying XMODULE="vesa" and vesa works well on any hardware, so it just started using Vesa on every boot, untill Krishna told me to use cheat code to force the Intel driver. Once you boot successfully with some driver it just sticks there untill you change it.

And yes, the code is to simply force your known working driver using xmodule= one time, after that every boot is good
