The workaround proposed by Olie works (verified on MAXDATA Pro 5000X).

Blacklisting intel i915 driver is the only way to go, until a newer and working 
version gets released.
This should be the default behavior of ubuntu 10.04.

I've read somewhere that this approach was already adopted in earlier
ubuntu releases, but as far as i know, this never applied to my laptop
(the last ubuntu i know to work is 7.10).
