I think you may be on to something there :-)
If you were to install & use oprofile (including the relevant kernel
module) I think it would show the culprit.
Relevant versions on my system:
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-6
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.0.0-3
libdrm2 2.3.0-4
libgl1-mesa-dri 6.5.3-1

Note that my chipset is 965G (this is a desktop system):
Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel 965G Chipset.
agpgart: Unknown page table size, assuming 512KB
agpgart: Detected 7676K stolen memory.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x80000000
The 965G does not have video overlay hardware and instead uses OpenGL
textured video; if you can find a driver option for this on your
hardware it may be worth trying.

I have sent my xorg.conf and /proc/config.gz by private email. I didn't
see anything obviously wrong in your xorg.conf.
Like I said above, I suspect oprofile is your best bet.
