Graphics: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device
Kernel: 2.6.33-02063303-generic

When I start System -> Administration -> "System Testing" everything seems normal for about 5 seconds (i.e. window pops up, tells me it's starting the hardware test and the progress bar moves) and then X freezes.
