(Get the code!)
I've got a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook S6010. It has the same graphics card, the same problem, and the same error message.
This problem started with the "intel" driver in gutsy I believe. Since then I've had to specify driver "i810" i xorg.conf. However since Ubuntu 8.10 driver "810" is no longer available, making it kind of hard to upgrade.
One thing that could be relevant is that the "intel" driver works, as long as another display is connected to the computer. It is only the laptop display that encounter these problems. So I've figured the problem has something to do with how the "intel" driver a while back changed it's way of detecting screens, which doesn't work very well with the Intel 830M graphics controller.
Tell me if there is anything I can do to help. This bug has been around to long (and ruined my xmas holidays, before realising older Ubuntu works, different screen works, and i810 driver works). Which logs do you need? Is there anything you want me to test?
