The reason is probably that your LVDS subchipset isn't recognized by
intel driver 2.1, we had several bugs like this in the past, you should
try a more recent driver.

Please try upgrading Xorg to unstable. Or at least try a more recent
xserver-xorg-video-intel such as the one available in
http://people.debian.org/~bgoglin/rebuilds/intel-2.2.1-Xserver1.3/

Note that when xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed, "i810" and "intel"
actually are the same new driver. The old "i810" driver is only
available if you remove xserver-xorg-video-intel and install an old
xserver-xorg-video-i810 package (<= 1.8).
