The -intel driver no longer uses UMS and relies on Kernel Mode Setting
instead. In order to activate KMS it needs to be either enabled when
compiled into your kernel, or you need to add i915.modeset=1 to your
module options, e.g.:
$ echo options i915 modeset=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
This should have been taken care of during a debian upgrade.
