KMS is disabled by default in the kernel, so that it is possible to
upgrade just the kernel in a 'lenny' installation without breaking X.
The X drivers that can work with KMS then install configuration files to
enable it in the corresponding kernel driver.
You should create a similar configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d (the
name must end in '.conf') with the text:
options i915 modeset=1
