Bug#533292: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 (sid), KMS enabled: black
Hi Jos,
KMS is still under heavy development and especially the Intel
X.org-driver is experiencing a total overhaul at the moment. The guys
at Intel state that there are dozens of possible combinations
regarding drivers/kernel/accel-modes and graphics hardware that noone
can really tell for sure that your specific combination will work
without any trouble.
In any case, you will need the latest xorg-driver for intel
(xf86-video-intel), the latest DRM and mesa. You can get everything
here:

I have a desktop machine with Intel GMA-3000 and always up-to-date
Debian unstable and KMS works very well with 2.6.30 (Vanilla-Kernel)
and the above stuff from the X.org git. So if you really want to have
KMS you should build everything yourself or wait until the whole
software is mature enough to be uploaded to unstable.
Adrian
