I have some problem with i945, display remains blank. I also tried adding i915.modeset=0 but nothing changed. Machine is well alive and responds to basic commands like Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Del but I have not other machine to enter via network.
If i915.modeset=0 doesn't restore the display then something is extremely fishy. Do you see any console output before the i915.ko is loaded?
no, I can only see what is in /var/log/messages

this is the log with reverted e7dbb2f2.
The issue appears to be that no outputs are being detected. I presume that you have instead a VGA connected to the box and that the regression is in fact e7dbb2f2. If I'm guessing rightly:
yes, display is attached to the VGA port.
I reverted this commit on -rc6, the only improvement is that with i915.modeset=0 I get the display back to normal VGA mode but when KMS is enabled I still get the blank screen.

I tried this patch on -rc6 but does not help at all.
