Bug#535026: KMS not working after booting with grub-pc 1.96+20090628-1 (unstable)

[Jos van Wolput]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090628-1 (unstable)
Severity: important
System: Debian Sid
Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc8-686 (kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel)
Processor: Pentium M, 852GM/855GM

I am using KMS with module i915 modeset=1.
When booting with the latest version  of grub-pc (20090628), after loading module i915 modeset=1 the booting process
is no longer shown on the screen until gdm is loaded.
VT screens 1-6 are all showing the gdm login screen although without mouse pointer and no keyboard input.
Only VT screen 7 works normally.

When booting with version grub-pc_1.96+20090611-1, the screen is set to high resolution and KMS works perfectly.
