 Brian, thanks, I gave it a try, but this is lucid not karmic. I didn't know what to do with that, so I tried it anyway. The xserver-xorg-video-intel got "kept back" so it booted to black screen. Back to hand keying in xorg.conf with driver "vesa".

Thanks for looking at the bug, Jerry

I set up a PPA for Karmic that will roll libdrm and xserver-xorg-video-intel
back to the Jaunty versions:
https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-testing

I haven't tested this yet, so be prepared to undo it from the command
line if it breaks X.

If this old userspace stuff works fine in the new kernel, it may not be
the kernel's fault at all. In that case, I'll step my PPA forward one
version at a time and we can find out when the problem first appeared.
