Thank you for such a complete bug report! There's nothing in any of the logs which show any sort of bug happening in the graphics drivers, but there are still some things you can try:

1) I noticed you have vt.handoff=7 in the kernel command line. Have you had problems with VT switching? Does it work if you remove that parameter? Can you switch to a different TTY and run 'startx' and get a graphical desktop?

2) 2.6.37-10 is a rebase to the mainline 2.6.37-rc6, so it would be helpful if you could test both the 37-rc5 and 37-rc6 mainline kernels to check if it's a problem with the upstream mainline kernel or the Ubuntu-specific changes/patches. The kernels are located at [1], with installation instructions at [2]. (Just install the i386 headers, _all headers, and i386 image.) If you encounter the bug in either kernel, please upload dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Thank you for your time in making Ubuntu better, and let me know if you have any questions.
