I'm not an X dev, so can't comment on this, but what happens if you try 
using VESA instead of the Intel driver?

for instance, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the Driver line in the 
Device section to
Driver "vesa"
then try starting X again.

that should at least give you a working screen, even if the resolution 
might be off.

other than that... try updating the system, in case the bug has been 
caught and fixed already? (yum upgrade)
