Using the Debian Unstable and Experimental versions of xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.21.15-2+b1 and 2:2.99.911+git20140529-1~exp2, respectively), the driver does not set i915_enable_fbc=0 for HD Graphics 5000. By default, the X session can only be displayed for less than one second at the time. By switching away from X (Ctrl+Alt+F1), and then back (Ctrl+Alt+F7), I can see a working X session for less than a second. Setting i915_enable_fbc to 0 seems to allow for normal X use.
