Attached are the Xorg.0.logs for
1st - using the 'intel' driver with no adjustments
2nd - using the 'intel' driver plus doing the following: (this log is included in the next post... only one attachment at a time)

* Setting DisplaySize for my Monitor
* Adding the Option "Monitor-LVDS" "Configured Monitor" to my xorg.conf

I don't know why, but those two things APPEARS to get the fonts right (presumably with the intel driver) on my GDM screen and I'm about to check and see if gnome-settings-daemon survives.
How can I check and make sure intel is in use and I'm not wasting my time debugging VESA kicking in? thanks.

Yep, gnome-settings-daemon crashes upon attempt to login ---- "The Settings Daemon restarted too many times"
Attempting to run "gnome-settings-daemon" as superuser from the CLI gives: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59867/

Finally, I'm afraid there is some sort of bug overlap. After implementing the fixes I've described here, I tried to submit a bug report for the gnome-settings-daemon and came across this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/197153
(Note the last comment before mine... describing how that person was suffering this bug on an Intel 855 GM chipset (same as mine)

I hope this is making forward progress. Thanks so much!
