I've walked around this by passing in Kernel boot parameter i915.modeset=0

I understand this disables Kernel from probing monitor modes and allows Xorg to do the work; However I still don't understand why this parameter causes the issue, does this indicate a Kernel issue as according to the doc this became enabled as default since Kernel 2.6.30-10.12 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting )?
