I tried to disable UseFBDev and VideoRam but no luck.
There's an error in my previous e-mail: I only downgrade
xserver-xorg-video-i810 to 1.7.2-4 and everything works.

To make it clear:
xserver-xorg                          7.1.0-18
xserver-xorg-core                     1.3.0.0.dfsg-2
xserver-xorg-video-i810               1.7.2-4

I can't say if that's the same.
In my case xorg always starts, I see the terminal but I have the green
screen and bad resolution.
If I type ctrl-D the xserver exits normally most times. After 2/3 tries
my notebook freeze, I have a blank screen, mouse and keyboard stop
working. I have to press the power button to reboot.
