There's been a bunch of changes to -intel since your last comment -
would you please test to see if this is still an issue in the released
Jaunty with all updates, and if so, also test if the 2.7.0 driver
resolves it:

  https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/

If you can reproduce the issue even with all this, the next thing to do
would be to collect register dumps before and after the issue.
intel_reg_dumper in Intrepid and newer versions of Ubuntu can be used to
get a register dump. It is provided by the -intel driver's debug
package:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg

run twice, once for when you have a good working screen (with either
-intel or -vesa, any resolution), and once in the broken case:

    intel_reg_dumper > regdump_good.txt

    intel_reg_dumper > regdump_broke.txt

In the broken case, you may need to run it from the console or from an
external ssh session.

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Incomplete
