I'm having a similar problem - the monitor goes into standby as soon as
X starts when using the "intel" driver, but when the default video
driver is used for X it works fine, but with no 3D acceleration (i
assume it's fallen back to the VESA driver). Unfortunately for me
there's no upgrade slots (everything onboard), so this is actually an
issue.
What I think may be happening is the card may not be initialising
properly.
here's "sudo lspci -v"
