unable to change screen resolution on HP G62 notebook with Intel i915 drivers

[Carla Sella]

I have a HP G62 laptop with Raring Final Beta installed.
This is my hardware:
http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/CarlaSella/HP%20G62%20Notebook%20PC

When I try to change my screen resolution from 1366x768 to 1024x768 or 800x600 I get a messed up desktop and cannot read what's on it, have to wait for the resolution to automatically go back to 1366x768.

I am attaching a screenshot of my desktop.

@Chris
I'm not sure this bug is duplicate of #1157678 as this does not happen to me unplugging an external monitor but on my notebook's monitor.

and I do not suspend or anything else, I simply change my notebook's resolution from System Settings, Displays.
