Bug#906904: a workaround

[Vincent McIntyre]

Installing the following file and rebooting allows the nvidia drivers
to retain control of the console.

% cat /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf 
# This module conflicts with the nvidia drivers & blacklisting does not work
install i915 /bin/true

This workaround is probably only useful for similar hardware,
that wants to load the i915 driver. In my case it is

% lspci | grep -i vga|grep -iv nvidia
