On my legacy hardware (Asus S1300N from 2003) with Lucid fully updated,
the graphical login screen won't show without KMS.
Applying option 3 solves it :
echo options i915 modeset=1 | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
If I then click on my login entry, Xorg crashes immediately berore I can enter
my password.
The screen flickers several times then I am informed that Ubuntu works in lower
graphics mode.
