There were some last-minute fixes related to i915 added to the Linus' tree
after 2.6.37-rc8. Perhaps you can give them a try?

if this is in any way related to various systems booting to a black
screen (as i described earlier), i built an absolutely up-to-date
kernel from the latest tree and that didn't solve the problem. i'm
open to testing suggestions.
