The upstream list for issues with Intel graphics chips is
intel-gfx(a)lists.freedesktop.org, but there's probably a fair bit of
information we should get first. I've been chasing a pile of Sandybridge
issues for RHEL6 anyway, so we might as well start here.
The standard reference page for information to collect for debugging KMS
problems is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Xorg_problems#KMS-related_issues
Ignore the bits about testing the non-KMS environment and the X log, they're
not going to be relevant for you. But the video ROM, register dump, and dmesg
output will all be informative.

Thanks, I will work through collecting that information and post it for us.
If you do need access to this particular chipset, let me know :)
