I have created a patch against the driver. I am not sure if it is working but it is easy to test.

The easiest way to compile the driver is with apt-src.
Install the packages apt-src and fakeroot.
After that run "apt-src install xserver-xorg-video-intel". It downloads the sources and all dependencies to compile it. Afterwards change the directory to xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.2.1 and run the command "patch -p1<~/quirk_transtec_senyo_610.patch" where ~ is the placeholder for your home directory. If the patch is saved on your desktop the path would look like ~/Desktop/quirk_transtec_senyo_610.patch .
After applying the patch the driver can be compiled with "fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage" which creates the -intel driver deb package. This should be installed, the workaround xorg.conf lines removed and then X restarted.
