Your point is correct that kms was disabled (I guess it is in the kernel
but i915 is configured to not use it)

I have an /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf which had in it:
options i915 modeset=0

If I do use kms, I have found no way to launch X since mid-2011.
No matter what I do, the Intel X driver 2.20.9 prints in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(EE) intel(0): failed to get resources: Invalid argument

This is similar to the poor soul in Bug #1088271 but I have had it for
about two years now. I was just thinking it would eventually start
working.

Perhaps you could provide some help and insight with that problem?

Title:
  Intel 915GM/GMA900 upgrade fails 12.04-12.10

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  A 915GM machine using GMA900 does not work with the intel X driver.

  After update, from kernel messages Ubuntu goes to black screen:

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure Xorg
  restart

  then X in low-res, failsafe mode.

  Since the Intel graphics don't work, here's a get-around:
  create /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
  Section "Device"
     Identifier "Intel GMA900"
     Driver "fbdev"
  EndSection

  X now works, but intel driver doesn't
