Did you try upgrading your kernel to 2.6.30-rc* ? KMS is still work in
progress (doesn't work at all here) so upgrading the kernel may help...
If it doesn't help, you might want to talk directly with the upstream
intel devs about this, since the code evolves faster than we even
understand your bug reports on the Debian BTS :)
