Please ignore my previous post: my diagnosis was wrong. The intelfb.ko
module is missing in linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 as well as in
linux-image-2.6.32-3-686. Hence, it is not the lack of this module
that causes the malfunction. When booting into 2.6.32-trunk the
graphics chip is claimed by the i915 driver, which is also available
in the other kernel. Yet with 2.6.32-3 the framebuffer device is not
initialized and DRM is missing.
I will try investigating this topic further.
