As a workaround, you can get a working environment with vesa.

First, blacklist i915. That's done adding a line saying:
blacklist i915 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

By the way, that blacklist worked with the 2.6.31-5 kernel. With
2.6.31-4 it didn't.

Then configure xorg (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) to use the vesa driver (if you
don't have a /etc/X11/corg.conf file it will require that you create one
by running sudo X --configure with the gdm/kdm/xdm/whateverdm service
down and copy it there for xorg to use it). That will be enough to get a
working environment instead of a screen with a heavy case of parkinson's
desease.... no acceleration though.... but at least you will be able to
work.
