I experienced the same behaviour on my Dell Inspiron 2600. Try to
remove video acceleration :

Section "Device"
        Option      "NoAccel"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "i810"
        VendorName  "Intel Corp."
        BoardName   "82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
