I can confirm that the image I downloaded yesterday from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/current/
that is linux-image-2.6.38-997-generic_2.6.38-997.201102120912_i386.deb
is the one that works best for me so far: I've finally stopped using
2.6.36-rc5 with the 900ms patch. X comes up fine, the full HD panel
works (and it's even dithered correctly!), and suspend/resume works
also.

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64 bits on a DELL 6510 notebook with
  integrated Intel graphics card. The machine only boots in a low-
  graphics mode. I detected the following error message in the logs:

  (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected

  I used i915,modeset=0 as a kernel option but I am no longer using. The
  xorg.config file I am using is

  Section "Device"
  Identifier "Configured Video Device"
  BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
  Driver "intel"
  Option  "AccelMethod"  "UXA"
  EndSection

  Identifier "Default Screen"
  Monitor "Configured Monitor"
  Device "Configured Video Device"
  DefaultDepth 24
  EndSection

  Section "DRI"

  My kernel is

  Linux darwin 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC
  2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  The intel driver:

  Any suggestions? Thanks.
