My video card is also intel. At first I just used the default installation config. Then, I used Xorg -configure which created a xorg.conf.new file in /root.
I edited this and made very modifications. The relevant sections is:
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
### [arg]: arg optional
#Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>]
#Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>]
#Option "ColorKey" # <i>
#Option "CacheLines" # <i>
#Option "Dac6Bit" # [<bool>]
Option "DRI" "True" # [<bool>]
#Option "NoDDC" # [<bool>]
#Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>]
#Option "XvMCSurfaces" # <i>
#Option "PageFlip" # [<bool>]
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Also, near to the top of the file, there is module section. I have this:
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "dri2"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
EndSection
Naturally, you can add and remove the things you don't want or need in this file. To use the new file for X, rename it (mv(1)) to /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
I think that should, I hope, do it for you.
Good luck and I hope that helps you a bit.
Best wishes, Jamie
