I have been running squeeze for a few months, and this setup is
working on a GMA500, although the netbook is not the same as yours.

However, grub-pc has been upgraded today:
[UPGRADE] grub-pc 1.98~20100115-1 -> 1.98-1
and I can not tell (yet) if this upgrade has caused a regression.

But I know for sure that 1.98~20100115-1 is fine with this setup.

Same setup as mine. Double check that the file is executable after the
upgrade. And check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see if the 915resolution
lines have correctly made into it.

Try downgrading to grub-pc 1.98~20100115-1. If that solves the problem
we should open a bug on grub-pc.

Note that modprobing the framebuffer from /etc/modules has stopped
working with the latest intel X driver. If you have that line on
/etc/modules, comment it out and give it a try.

I may be able to upgrade in the next few days, and if this issue is
still open, I will report back.

Pedro
