can you please check what happens with 2.12 from sid or with 2.13 from experimental, using sid's kernel? Details about versions can be read in: http://ikibiki.org/blog/2010/10/02/October-X-update/
I tried to start X using latest xserver-xorg-video-intel - version 2:2.12.0+shadow-2 and not-so-latest kernel 2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-21. It did not start, saying that there's no KMS support in kernel. I tried to force it with 'modprobe i915 modeset=1', but it failed with message that kernel modesetting is not supported for this chipset. Text console worked for both DVI and VGA output.
So, I upgraded kernel to 2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-24. Now during boot text console on DVI output stops working after module i915 is loaded and system changes graphics mode of console.
Under X everything behave as with previous version - xrandr reports both outputs, I can theoretically turn DVI output on/off and change it's graphics mode, but still there's no ouput on monitor.
No progress :-( Paweł
