You need to enable kernel modesetting to use the current stable releases
of -intel.

Check you have CONFIG_DRM_I915 and CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS enabled for your
kernel. The latter can be optionally replaced with i915.modeset on the
boot command line or at module load time. This does presume that you have
at least a 2.6.29 kernel.
