I recently tested alpha3 and I had the same problem, but only with nvidia (I 
had speed switch set, and static switching via acpi_osi kernel param, so 
booting directly from my working system to alpha3 live CD meant I was still 
using static-switched nvidia).  Rebooting into the live CD again (such that 
acpi_osi was not in effect from previous boot) got me a working system with 
presumably Intel.  I haven't had a chance to play further.

I'm pretty sure nvidia worked with alpha2 so there may have been a regression.  
hmmm
