Hi! The bug seems to be back with Intrepid.
Before (in 8.04.1) on my X40 laptop (Intel 855GM) I used i810 driver and it worked ok. Now, in Intrepid Ibex 8.10 there is no more i810 driver - and so I am stuck with Intel driver. It already caused me headaches, namely with these random black screen hangs. However, there is a documented "fix" - it's in the intel manpage, tho not entirely mentioned as a fix to this issue. What you need to do is: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add into the video card section: Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true" then save it, and restart X. It works over here, as a side (??) effect I get more accurate brightness settings :-) So try it out and then let the intel devs know about it, just like that manpage says! Cheers! PS.
