I'm guessing that the EDID feedback from the monitor is being
mishandled. If it's VGA, swap to DVI or HDMI if you can.
If not, or that doesn't solve it, put the intel specific xorg server
back in; as root run
X -configure
to generate a basic xorg.conf. Put it in /etc/X11/
and specify a 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 modeline.
