You have to read your video driver man page to see if the options are available with your specific driver. This method should work with newer versions of the intel driver anyway.
See the section at the bottom of the intel man page for laptop specific options.

Again, not all options work the way you might expect from reading the manual.
Both the distro’s default xserver configuration and the entries in the xorg.conf file allow or disallow subdrivers and options to load.

See Xorg.0.log to see if your xorg.conf entries were accepted or not.
