With regards to enabling KMS, I was under the wrong impression that it
was still enabled for the intel driver. Re-enabling it via
i915.modeset=1 on the grub cmd line adverts the crash and X boots
successfully. However DRI seems to have been deliberately disabled (see
attached Xorg.conf), thus AIGLX instantiates the Mesa renderer. Also,
playing any video in Totem or VLC player simply kills X. I don't know
whether this is related to DRI, or to my update path from 9.10, where it
used to work. I will try to find any information relevant on the logs to
this last crash and append it later.

I've also noticed that there is a master bug discussing the blacklisting
of KMS for i855 (bug #511001). I will quote this particular bug in it.
