I hope, that this works for him, but just in case. I had different problem
- after upgrading to
squeeze X would freeze the whole computer in startup without X startup log
(also Intel graphics).
Modeset support was enabled, but changing it didn't seem to have any effect. I
got it working with
Vesa driver and later by building 2.6.32.22 kernel. But then that one didn't
work for video playback,
so I upgraded to 2.6.33.7. It seems, that 2.6.32 lines has some major problems
with integrateed
Intel graphics - at least with some of them. Just as a word of warning - if any
of those problems
should appear.
