Intel (Xorg-7.6): No kernel modesetting driver detected

[alupu at verizon.net]

Hello,

SYSTEM
 "ASUS P5E-VM HDMI" with Intel G35/ICH9R.
 Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 4GB
 (B)LFS i686-pc-linux-gnu, 2.6.36.2, Udev-165

PROBLEM
I upgraded to Xorg-7.6 (from 7.5).
On bringing up X on the "natural" (for the board) intel driver,
X fails with "No kernel modesetting driver detected" now.
Please note, the X on "vesa" works OK.

DETAILS
xf86-video-intel-2.13.0         (1729598 intel_drv.so)
xf86-video-vesa-2.3.0           (88540 vesa_drv.so)

A snippet/excerpt of the log:
