I've a system with a i5 2520m (Intel Sandybridge) and written down a few
notes about it in the Debian wiki.

In short, as other people all ready wrote, you'll have to use at least
the kernel from backports (2.6.39 currently) but I guess you'll also
need the X.org backport (thanks to KiBi for providing it).
The most annoying part is the requirement of a new kernel+non-free to get
at least ethernet working. After that it's a lot easier to get the rest
going.
