Intel log errors in Xorg.0.log

My Xorg.0.log is filled every second or so with the following block and it gradually grows larger and larger (ten thousands of lines):

[   114.832] (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines:
[   114.832] (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0   69.32  1280 1292 1356 1416  800 803 806 816 -hsync -vsync (49.0 kHz)
[   114.867] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "SEC", prod id 19522

Why is this? Is there some way to stop whatever intel function from doing so? Lately, I have experienced Xorg crashing for unknown reasons, but I don't know if it's related. I have both the intel-dri 7.11-1 package and xf86-video-intel 2.15.0-2 installed.
Any advice would be helpful.

Re: Intel log errors in Xorg.0.log

As that is not normal intel driver behaviour I think it must be a hardware issue. If you have another monitor and cable you could connect that and see if the problem persists.

Re: Intel log errors in Xorg.0.log

Thanks, but it didn't change the matter. However, I'm getting more serious log errors:

$ tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log

My daemons:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus netfs ntpd crond acpid wicd alsa laptop-mode !slim)

I have googled this "bad drawable" issue but no solutions are out there. AFAIK this is the reason for my Xorg strange behaviour. Any similar experience, or maybe suggestions to share with me, guys/girls? What logs or configs should I post here?
