What's going on here? I thought modesetting was fully
working/supported
Work in progress in the video drivers.
I really liked the modesetting, too...
Who do I bug to fix it? Or how would I go about fixing it myself?
File a bug against your video driver or just against xorg. Fixing "it"
(Kernel Mode Setting) yourself is not feasible. Use the workaround you
have now.
