It was worth a try, but unfortunately then my xserver doesn't start. It 
loads the intel driver, and then the xserver barfs that it cannot find 
devices. If KMS is disabled, do I then also need to pass some additional 
options to the xserver?

I wouldn't be surprised if this issue is really a hardware issue. If I'm 
not mistaken, Mathijs has similar hardware as I have (Intel Sandy Bridge).
