I just installed Arch on an old PC with an intel E8281E onboard vga and a 17' LCD monitor (this PC used to run Arch with Gnome, but the hard drive failed so I had to reinstall and went for LXDE instead).
When I start LXDE, the screen shakes at native resolution (1280x1024), but not in lower resolutions
I'm using the xf86-video-intel driver since it seems to be the most appropriate for this hardware. I tried disabling KMS at boot but nothing changed
Any suggestions?
Edit: My bad, it shakes in all resolutions, it just isn't as visible

There should be an 'Auto' button (it may be called sth else) on your monitor - it calibrates the screen so it isn't clipped, doesn't shake or isn't "smudged" - give it a try. Refer to you manual for details.

It was the first thing I tried, it didn't do anything

Try switching to vesa drivers.
Post your Xorg.0.log.

Vesa works OK, but it's not a viable alternative
here's the Xorg.0.log

Old Intel card needs xf86-video-intel-legacy, which isn't supported by the new xorg-server. I don't know if yours is that old.
[ 2805.706] (II) intel(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range)
Maybe you should check your refresh settings? Wrong refreshing causes "shaking" or "blurring".
[ 2805.712] (**) intel(0): DPI set to (95, 96)
Try setting your dpi to 96,96.
