I installecd Xorg (7.4_1).
When I did 'X - configure', it selected the 'vesa' driver for Xorg.

Is vesa the best driver for this machine?
I tried the 'intel' driver, but that didn't work.

I'm having a similar situation, so I hope someone answers. I'm also
using an Intel i3 with an Intel Ironlake graphics controller.

In my case, I can use the vesa driver, but only when an external
monitor is attached. Otherwise, I get "Screen(s) found, but none have
a usable configuration"
.
