Bug#607070: black screen after lenny->squeeze upgrade

[Juha Heinanen <jh@tutpro.com>]

Package: upgrade-reports
Version: lenny to squeeze

I just upgrade my old IBM Thinkpad X30 from lenny to squeeze.  When I
rebooted the system with squeeze kernel image 2.6.32-5-686, the screen
went black during the boot process.

I googled a bit and found that if i change in file
/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf line

i915 modeset=1

to

i915 modeset=0

then the system boots ok, but when starting of X fails , because it
cannot open /dev/fb0 (no such file).

Any ideas on how I could avoid getting black screen AND getting X to
work?  The system worked fine with lenny.
