I'm having a similar situation, so I hope someone answers. I'm also
using an Intel i3 with an Intel Ironlake graphics controller.

In my case, I can use the vesa driver, but only when an external
monitor is attached. Otherwise, I get "Screen(s) found, but none have
a usable configuration"

I got the vesa driver working with just the notebook monitor by
specifying a range for HorizSync and VertRefresh. Now my problem
matches that of OP. It appears that the graphics chip for the i3 is a
newer model than any that are included for the intel driver.
