Having trouble getting the box to boot at all with Lucid + xorg-edgers,
as xserver-xorg-video-intel requires mode switching enabled in the
kernel but leaving nomodeset=1 off the options line makes the machine
boot into a video mode that its monitor doesn't support (probably
related to bug 522488).
Same old freeze while using remote desktop viewer.

Brian: after the last freeze, I accidentally rebooted into your patched
kernel (2.6.31-50-generic) and ran it for a while with the same packages
as in comment #200, and it also froze while I was using remote desktop
viewer. So it looks like even that kernel's horrible GUI sloth doesn't
