Interesting, it looks like with -intel the xserver is connecting your Configured Monitor to your VGA output, not to LVDS:

+(II) intel(0): Output VGA using monitor section Configured Monitor
+(II) intel(0): I2C bus "CRTDDC_A" initialized.
+(II) intel(0): Output LVDS has no monitor section
+(II) intel(0): I2C bus "LVDSDDC_C" initialized.
+(II) intel(0): I2C device "LVDSDDC_C:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0.
+(II) intel(0): I2C device "LVDSDDC_C:ddc2" removed.

However later in the log it sees that the VGA out is present but doesn't have anything connected to it. So maybe what's happening is that the LVDS isn't getting a crtc assigned to it?

Could you try adding the following to your Monitor section in xorg.conf?

       Option "Monitor-LVDS" "LVDS display"

Also, if possible would you mind testing against Intrepid, and see if the issue still exists with the latest version of -intel?
