On all 4 laptops that I own or administrate, none needs an xorg.conf; and all of them use intel graphics (and 3 different generations of intel graphics).
On boot, the kernel detects the correct screen resolution for the panels and automatically sets the correct mode. When plugging in a screen, the screen is detected, and the correct mode is set automatically.

Okay, you're making me feel motivated to take the risk of trying a new kernel version - what version are you using to get that?

Anything since 2.6.32 (in Debian squeeze) works fine here. I should say I never needed any xorg.conf with the intel driver, not even before KMS. Everything just worked (well, not on my Core i5 System, that one crashed during the first 6 months I had it, as the driver was unstable back then [one or two years ago]).
