Comment 40 for bug 477256

@Geir
I just remembered that I originally tested a "retro" (Jaunty, I think) version of xserver-xorg-video-intel as one of my first experiments, and it locked up rapidly (see original report at the top of this thread). So maybe there's not much point in getting older versions of Brian's packages.

I'm also running Lucid on this laptop and for the last few days I've been able to boot with nomodeset and use the vesa driver with no lockups after many hours. As I don't use desktop effects on this machine, I'm quite happy with the workaround.
