Ok, I guess someone should write Doc*/fb/inteldrmfb.txt...

I got unaccelerated X working, good.

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
#       Driver          "intel"
        Driver          "fbdev"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection

...but when I returned to machine, display did wake up but backlight
did not :-(.

But I still can't get accelerated X to work. I tried updating xserver:

Setting up xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.13.0-2) ...

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
	Driver          "intel"
#        Driver          "fbdev"
        Option          "UseFBDev"              "true"
EndSection

but when I try to start X, I get:
