Confirming on another Optiplex 745 under Hardy, latest kernel 2.6.24.19
and intel driver package 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.4.

Note that, for Dells at least, the specific motherboard version seems to
make a difference (as for the reboot problem in bug 115011 - see my
comments there). With my m/board code 0KW628, it hard locks. A colleague
also has an Optiplex 745, but with m/board code 0WK833 and he has no
problems (still same chipset and onboard graphics as far as I can see).

Don't know if that might help with diagnosis.

Also can confirm workaround using i810 driver (logon screen is wrong
resolution - only see top left quarter - but then fine once logged in).
I assume only potential issues are reduced graphics performance.

P.S. I haven't tried the older Hardy intel driver version
2:2.2.1-ubuntu12; don't know if that might be a (better?) workaround but
presume may break other stuff.

P.P.S. Off topic but, AFAIK, the intel driver is just a more modern
version of the i810 one (is it a fork?)? What are the differences /
release strategies? Are they managed by separate development teams? Web
links?
