Comment (by bradh):

 Oddly enough the graphics look slightly cleaner, while still offering the
 same limited resolutions, in Safe Mode. I figured perhaps because it was
 using primarily VESA drivers instead of the intel ones that weren't
 working properly.. so, I backed up the 3 references to intel_extreme,
 removed the originals and reboot as normal. My graphics look slightly
 better in straight VESA mode, but obviously it would still be nice to have
 my Intel graphics supported with the correct resolution.
 Just thought I would share that experience in case it helps. I should also
 note I had a similar problem with FreeBSD. The newer intel graphics
 weren't really supported in FreeBSD at the time, so the only way around it
 was a manual kernel patch. I don't remember exactly where it was, though.
