Some more developments about the trouble with Intrepid (yes, I know this
bug is about Hardy but I think the problems in Hardy and Intrepid are
related, as I'll point out below)

I decided to try Intrepid using the VGA cable instead of DVI, and the
display worked, except the resolution was set to 1600x1024, so I set it
1440x900, and everything was fine (so it seems both Hardy and Intrepid
initialize at the wrong resolution).

* anyone who's had the same/similar problem, definitely read this paragraph *
Knowing that the resolution was initializing wrong, I switched back to the DVI 
cable to try alt+F2 to open the run box, then type "xrandr -s 1440x900" 
(blindly, since the monitor is blank, :) ), hit return, wait a few seconds, and 
success!

I guess if the monitor is using DVI input and the resolution is anything
greater than 1440x900, it just flashes "Input Not Supported"
