"No devices found" in X

Hi,
Running uptodate Sid. I usually run self-compiled kernels (from
kernel.org git mainline repo) with standard Debian Sid X. This has
been working fine for years (except, of course, for the occasional,
temporary X breakage), but starting recently (presumably after some X
upgrade), X bails on startup, saying that it can't find any devices
(The last few lines from the log are included below).
I suspect there's something misconfigured in my kernels, since X still
starts fine with a Debian stock kernel - but I haven't actually changed
anything in my kernel config, which used to work fine. Has something
in X or the kernel changed recently that would require me to do
something different in the kernel?
The graphics chipset is an Intel 945GM, powered by the i915 driver:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

I can provide further information if necessary (e.g., dmesg, kernel
config, and full logs to a pastebin), but I figured I'd try this first,
in case anyone has any idea.
