Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Hi,
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 510m, with an Intel 855GM:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

Using the Xorg server with the xserver-xorg-video-i810 driver (and 915resolution to get 1400x1050) works well enough (compiz, decent 3d, xv support).
Recently, I've tried the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver which works equally well, with one exception: when I close the laptop lid, the screens my system hangs: music stops playing, black screen except for the mouse pointer which is stuck.

/var/log/messages doesn't show anything, and I don;t have the corresponding Xorg.0.log any more since I switched back to i810. I'm attaching my Xorg configurations for both i810 and intel drivers.
