I had a similar problem on a Dell Inspiron 1525n Laptop, which has,
according to lspci, a:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 
Integrated 
Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Up until recently it was loading the vesa driver instead of the intel.
Whenever I tried to change to the intel driver I would loose x and have
to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' to get X back again.

However, yesterday (18.04), after the usual updates/upgrades, I decided to try 
again and wanted to see what a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' 
would give me.
This is now the results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ fgrep drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so

and, just to encourage you:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ glxgears

5783 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1156.530 FPS

5789 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1157.721 FPS
6324 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1264.755 FPS
6335 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1266.824 FPS
6340 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1267.815 FPS

So perhaps this bug has been fixed??
