Huh?

 Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default,
 and you have a new enough userspace to support this. Running old
 userspaces with this enabled will cause pain.  Note that this causes
 the driver to bind to PCI devices, which precludes loading things
 like intelfb.

But as you don't have it, it doesn't seem like that is the issue
