Wow, so I tried _everything_ and nothing worked except one thing (probably the most obvious too).

I tried installing the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel as described above, I tried installing 915resolution from hardy's packages, I tried installing xserver-xorg-video-i810, I tried manually setting the intel driver in my xorg.conf and nada, stuck on 800x600 every time.

Take into consideration though, that I'm installing Intrepid from a fully working Feisty install, and after reading the following post (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/xorg.conf-for-intel-82815-chipset-608658/), I tried just copying the xorg.conf from my old install's backup over my existing xorg.conf and voila.. it worked like a charm.

I just needed to change the Driver section to be 'intel' instead of 'i810' which it used to be and everything started working brilliantly (even the little scroll-wheel on the touch-pad which really does it for me :O).

I'm attaching my xorg.conf if anyone wants to grab it and drop it into their /etc/X11/ directory to get things working.
