Tested 2.6.35.3 and the V9 patch.

This time the Intel adapter *works* and the KDE desktop is usable when compositing is switched off.

With compositing switched on, freezes *do* occur as usual, but this time they do not block virtual console switching. This means that the frozen machine could be rebooted gracefully if there wasn't another (possibly related) bug (see below).

Unfortunately, something gets broken inside the kernel. An attempt to sync the file systems (and suspend/hibernate/reboot) gets stuck forever. There is a kernel process called 'flush-8:0' that consumes 100% of CPU time. Existing sessions remain usable, but no new sessions can be established. The Magic SysRq is the only solution here.
