Can you post the lspci output for your machine, and
grab /var/log/Xorg.0.log when modesetting is enabled and X starts, and
you experience the problem?

Have posted it on the bugzilla page.
s-c-d is choosing the wrong driver (vesa instead of intel), and if I
have no xorg.conf I get vesa too.
(Booting with nomodeset and manually setting the driver to intel works
though)
