I have this problem, too, on 915GM/GMA900, and it is still a problem.
It has not worked since the beginning of kms which was mid-2011.

Symptom: X does not start, in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (EE) intel(0): failed
to get resources: Invalid argument

I have the latest quantal-proposed kernel, dated 130207:
linux-image-extra-3.5.0-24-generic

X video driver: "intel" module version = 2.20.9

kernel kms active

hardware: lspci -k -nn -s 0:2
