I'm experiencing the same problem with, IIRC, the same video chip (Intel
82845G/GL) in a Thinkpad T60.

I network upgraded to Intrepid (from Hardy) last night / this morning
and upon reboot I can no longer login with gdm.  I enter my user/pass
and X starts for just a brief second (black screen, but the cursor
changes from the gdm cursor to the default "X") before (presumably)
dying.  I end up back at gdm (where it prompts for my username).

If I try to switch to a different VT, the display seems to get corrupted
and I can't see any text.  After a few attempts of this, the machine
will sometimes lock up.

Everything worked just fine on Hardy.

I have not had time to fully diagnose it yet on my side (too busy
today), but I'll try to post more details later.
