I am thinking that etch used the i810 driver and lenny uses the intel graphics driver. You can use aptitude from the command line to wipe the xorg and x11 related files and reinstall using etch. I use synaptic to lock the versions to keep them from being updated and run sid. I even tried the experimental 2:2.6.1-1 <http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/xserver-xorg-video-intel> with no luck. From the deb package search page I notice there is another version waiting to be packaged. http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel.html I even started to try compiling it from souce but a newer version of a lib was missing from debian. One big problem is with my setup the 3d performance is terrible but that machine is used for a server and audio video on my desk and it works fine for that.

I take it you can't use a system that's going to fail at any given time. There's not even a bug report filed, and if one is filed, how long would it be to get a fix? It's been almost two months. I can't tolerate this any more. I'm thinking of the U-word.
It's not a Debian problem its an xorg problem with the changes. Use aptitude to wipe everything xorg and x11 related and then aptitude to reinstall the i810 using only etch sources or pick the version in synaptic and use synaptic for updates as I find it easier to lock the versions. You might do some web searching as people have fixed their problems related to resolution size causing the crash. I find the lack of bug reports odd but I have not filed one as I don't have the time or inclination to work on it anymore.
