It is reproducible with 2.6.36-rc5-686 version 2.6.36~rc5-1~experimental.1.
I guess I am doomed with this old chip :(.

Another thing that bothers me with the new kernels is that I have to enable
KMS to use the intel driver, but disable it if I want to use vesa (the
current fallback for me). Changing the bootloader configuration and
rebooting just to switch the graphics driver doesn't seem right.

If you need any additional information, let me know.
