Intel console framebuffer with Debian Squeeze

In order to have a native resolution console on Intel hardware you just need to install one package that adds KMS support:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

This installs some X.org related stuff but also a module that adds console framebuffer support on widescreen resolutions, etc etc.

The conf file is:

/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf

Cheers
