Hi,

without
i915.modset=0
the machine does not boot to graphic screen (since Karmic)
I think the message Unknown parameter `modset' when using  
i915.modset=0 in grub
is a known and documented problem of grub that first parse it wrong  
but then pass it correctly.
This is what I found about it when googling some time ago.

So I cannot do what you suggest as I cannot have a terminal without  
i915.modset=0

I think mouse come back as soon as there is an event that ask it to  
change shape.
In my case when typing in a terminal the mouse has to changes from  
(invisible) pointer to a (visible) vertical bar and this solve the  
problem.
When going out of the terminal the mouse change to a visible pointer.
