Hi John,

The module in question gets loaded and is used in D-I only. Pay
attention to the case you are pointing at: the graphics does not work on
boot/reboot into an installed system. At this point this module plays no
role because it is blacklisted in the main system. This user is having
some other issues unrelated to this module.
