Yes, it was a kernel configuration related bug (it was submitted by someone alse as bug 601558) The problem id that when KMS is switched on (at least in Intel chipsets) the support for framebuffer console must be also switched on. I ve set two options in my kernel configuration: CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y
I suspect that this bug may have been closed too quickly.Maybe i'm missing something, but Oliver, the bug submitter, used the official Debian kernel and from /boot/config-2.6.3* i see that they have these two options already enabled, both in 2.6.32-26 and 2.6.36-1~experimental.1. Moreover Oliver and wzabolot have totally different chipsets: i830 the former and i865G+i945GM the latter.
Waiting for a reply from Oliver, i suggest him to try 2.6.36 just landed to experimental and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.13 from experimental. I know that he have already tried 2.13 from a kibi build, but the latter seems more experimental than the one from, ehm, experimental. :-)
