[solved] intel, kms, where's my arch boot logo(s)?

I have an intel card (Intel 945GME Chipset, netbook) with KMS enabled, and I lost the boot logos after enabling KMS. Is there a way to get it (them) back? Searching the forums gives a lot of "I want logo" and "I don't want logo" posts, some that try to get the tux logo in there (which would be nice, but offtopic to me), and one post that mentions that the logo disappears when kms is used on intel cards, but that was all.
thanks

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

use abs, and build the i915 driver into the kernel, not as a module. you will get your logo then

I have the same problem, but a radeon.

How do I configure the kernel to compile the radeon driver into the kernel.

grep -i radeon /boot/kconfig

CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set

in menuconfig it's not possible to mark CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y only as module.
Does it work if I set it to "y" with a texteditor?

EDIT:

A radeon kernel-module gives more flexibility (e.g. debug), for built-in solution change CONFIG_DRM_RADEON from "=m" to "=y".

http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo# … radeon-KMS

I will try it.

EDIT_2:
It wasn't possible to select DRM_RADEON=y because AGP was selected as module.

EDIT_3:
it works.
