My laptop has a very similar problem --- see
<http://bugs.debian.org/531384>.  As a workaround, I added some lines
to xorg.conf setting HorizSync and VertRefresh. I am not sure what
goes wrong in detecting these values or what the values really should
be, but on the plus side my screen is usable now. Maybe this could
work for your laptop, too?

Since I am hoping the reports describe the same underlying problem, I
am merging the bugs.

Regards,
Jonathan
