OK ... I have similar / probably same issue ... the old laptop in question is a Sony Vaio PCG-FX103

my card I guess from giving 'lshw -C display' ...

root@vaio:/home/no2nonFree# lshw -C display
  *-display UNCLAIMED
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC)
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       physical id: 2
       bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
       version: 11
       width: 32 bits
       clock: 66MHz
       capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
       configuration: latency=0

... is i815 (or atleast i8xx)

I attach (all in one file delimited by dashes ie: '---' )
1) Xorg.0.log
2) Output from `lspci -vvnn`
3) Output from `xrandr --verbose`
4) Output from `get-edid | parse-edid`

The file is called "i8xx-resolution-bug-report" (39.819 K)

I have attempted to change few configurations and tools like 'xrandr' to fix the problem in its initial stages ... but don't think any settings are affected due to my earlier attempts. All the best.
