Building i915 and intel_agp, from the -16 kernel source as provided by Ben, against -15 kernel does resolve the issue. "intel" video driver can now be used to run X on -15 kernel.

 One problem I see ( which I probably have seen with -16 kernel as well), is that when I run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to configure xorg.conf with "intel" driver the screen goes blank when it tries to autodetect the monitor. However, on reboot X start fine.

    Tim, pls confirm on your end, since you have the Intel Gfx, that the solution (with new i915 and intel_agp )works and the above minor issue does occur.
