Upgrading the driver can't hurt. :)

If it doesn't work with the latest driver, you probably will get the
attention of the Intel folks on this list as you more than likely have
(yet another) misbehaving monitor.

Well, that should work too, but again, upgrading can't hurt. I would
imagine that using 915resolution and other BIOS hacks with the
modesetting driver is asking for trouble. So stop using 915resolution
at the very least and see what the driver can autodetect or what you
can specify from xorg.conf.

In fact, many times a recommendation for people having issues with the
server is to move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file aside and see what is
autodetected by the server + driver. That can help in many cases as
the intel driver is very good with autodetection.
