Try fetching 
http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg/xorg72/xf86-video-intel-2.0.0.tar.bz2
unpack it in /usr/ports/x11-drivers directory, deinstall xf86-video-i810 port, 
install this one (xf86-video-intel) and see if it behaves any better.
What happens if you omit Extensions from xorg.conf or entirely without 
xorg.conf?
