@Brian Rogers: I tried the last kernel from your ppa (2.6.35rc4-v9patch1.e467e10) on another laptop with 855, and X wouldn't start unless nomodeset was used.

Thank you Brian for all the help. I tried linux-image-2.6.35-ppa20+v9patch-generic and the cursor was invisible. I tried linux-image-2.6.35-ppa20+v9+cursorfix-generic and almost everything was working fine: KMS, 3D, XV... glxgears even reported 308 fps instead of 260 fps that it showed with the 2.6.34rc3-51-generic kernel. An annoying glitch with linux-image-2.6.35-ppa20+v9+cursorfix-generic though: every exactly 10 seconds, a process named kslowd000 caused a CPU spike, which resulted in the computer hanging for half a second - mouse not moving, screen not updating etc. So the best solution for me was to clone my hard disk to transfer the old 2.6.34rc3-51-generic to the other laptop. I hope that the CPU glitch above can be fixed so that I can use the newer kernel with its significant performance improvement. Btw, why aren't those kernels mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes ? It's the only way to make those laptops work properly in Lucid...

OK, I did try just upgrading the kernel, which didn't help. I have tried 2.6.32-rc7 from the mainline kernels. However, the description of xorg-edgers worries me. This the laptop that I work on, so I rather have a non freezing X, without sound, 3D acceleration, than a non working laptop. Could I just add the ppa to my sources and update the packages?

I've also tried acpi=off and it fixes the freezing problem... But just because, at least on my system, it disables 3D acceleration completely. I don't use desktop effects for testing, but Google Earth. If 3D is enabled, I load Google Earth and X freezes in the first minute. With acpi=off kernel parameter, GE tells me that it's using software renderer, thus no freeze, although it's painfully slow ;) There is nothing relevant in dmesg or the X log when it freezes...
