Could you try upgrading to kernel 2.6.29 and seeing if that helps?

Actually, this was with 2.6.29.1 already. I'm building from source, with
	CONFIG_DRM_I915=m
	CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y

Ok, great!

Sorry, in my last mail I forgot to mention that you have to enable KMS. You should be able to do that by adding
"i915.modeset=1" on the kernel command line.

This doesn't seem to work:
	# dmesg | grep 915
Command line: root=/dev/mapper/Debsys-Root ro i915.modeset=1 Kernel command line: root=/dev/mapper/Debsys-Root ro i915.modeset=1 Unknown boot option `i915.modeset=1': ignoring

That's a surprise. Could you try forcing UXA by adding 'option "AccelMethod" "uxa"' to the device section of your xorg.conf?
