Okay, you're making me feel motivated to take the risk of trying a new kernel version - what version are you using to get that?

Anything since 2.6.32 (in Debian squeeze) works fine here. I should say I never needed any xorg.conf with the intel driver, not even before KMS. Everything just worked (well, not on my Core i5 System, that one crashed during the first 6 months I had it, as the driver was unstable back then [one or two years ago]).
