That is an extremely odd collection of symptoms. Can you please retest
with a recent live CD, and run apport-collect 811499.

Title:
Malfunction on boot?
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an older Acer laptop yesterday, with the
Intel GMA 950 graphics chip. When I booted from the live media it was
mainly fine, except it insisted the screen was 4:3. No matter, that
was fixed after installed and running some updates, so now it displays
the correct resolution of 1280x800.
However, after the second reboot after installing all updates (I had
some fw-issues with a b43xx-card) the screen was all teared up:
Screenshot here: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=4496
The desktop was working and everything was clickable, so I logged out
and back in, and then it was fine. So I thought "ah, maybe it's
something related to auto-login in GDM", but when I disabled auto-
login and rebooted, the screen just sat there displaying the desktop
background, no login window appeared. I switched to console and logged
in from there, and when I switched back to X the login window had
appeared. Some more rebooting and testing confirmed that I had to
login from console for it to appear. When I logged in, however, the
desktop was garbage as before. So I logged out, back in, and it was
fine.
During one shutdown before reboot I noticed something about "Crash
report [somethingsomething] FAILED" - So I'm wondering if the gfx-card
driver crashes on shutdown, and -something- is messed up and not
purged before I log in and back out again.
I do not have the computer here now so I can't apply the logs, but if
you need them just say so and I'll get the uploaded asap.
