Great, thanks! I tried VESA 0x111 (Linux 0x311) - it is also what is used
by xfree86 vesa driver, after I've followed the suggestion from Tony
(cc'ed and quoted below) and tried X with vesa. The kernel boots, intelfb
driver doesn't exit, I can even start X over fb and it runs! But:

1) both screens - LCD and CRT bocome black as soon as intelfb takes over
and stay that way also under X

2) kernel logs fill with

intelfb: the cursor was killed - restore it !!
intelfb: size 8, 16 pos 0, 464

Buggy video BIOS?...
