Well, yes.  The attempt to reenable UMS didn't solve the problems and
was abandoned, current -intel packages require KMS and use a shadowfb on
i8xxx hardware by default (the latter is a Debian-specific patch,
upstream's default is not to enable shadow on any hardware).

Not pretty, but better solutions have simply not been found. :-(
