I take it you have modified your xorg.conf to to use "intel" as the driver? As an alternative, why don't you delete/rename the xorg.conf, reboot without it, and let X configure itself automatically? Then look inside /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what driver is in use. After that you can generate an xorg.conf file (if you have a need for it) using the "Xorg -configure". You need to do it as root, it will create the file in your current directory, and then you can tweak it to taste and move it to /etc/X11/ where it belongs. > - I tried keeping the tootle on "speed" and created a xorg.conf using the > driver "radeon".

As a general note, /var/log/Xorg.0.log is a very good source of information about what is actually going on with X and you can look inside for any errors, warnings, and other reports which might give you a clue about the problem. Try to describe what doesn't work for you in more detail, and maybe even post your X log file on pastebin or whereever, and give us a link to look at it.
