I have attached my current xorg.conf. Still needs some tuning ... I'm working
with KDM as my display manager and have a script which starts X with the
correct layout. The "correct" layout is determined via lspci etc.
During boot of the machine, I'm using the command
855resolution 5c 1400 1050
to make the 1400x1050 resolution known to the broken video BIOS of the i915.
Just realised now that I'm using 855resolution instead of 915resolution, but
this should be the same.

No, I did not rebuild X. I'm using xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.13.20 from CentOS (or
RHEL 4). What I did was just to download the i915 DRI snapshot from
http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/, which replaced the kernel and xorg
driver modules. But I'm still running the normal RPM beside that change. The
snapshot has a simple install.sh script which takes care of everything.
