Well, it works for me using the same kernel (linux-image-2.6.32-5-686, > version 2.6.32-23) and, presumably, the same video driver > (xserver-xorg-video-intel, 2:2.9.1-4).

On which KMS is currently disabled in Debian Kernels: ,---- | linux-2.6 (2.6.32-21) unstable; urgency=high | | [ Ben Hutchings ] | * [...] | * [x86] i915: Blacklist i830, i845, i855 for KMS | (Closes: #568207, #582105, #593432, #593507) `---- And it looks to me as if Manu is using a newer version of xserver-xorg-video-intel that actually requires KMS. The next upload of linux-2.6 to unstable should re-enable KMS on the i8xx chipsets¹.
