As I said earlier I use Kubuntu Hardy. In the xorg.conf there was not a reference to which driver my system uses. However, in the system-settings, under the Monitor and Display section, it says that I use the i810 driver. I added the Driver "intel" under the Device section in the xorg.conf. Even though in the system settings it still says i810, I have not experienced any monitor blackouts or flickerings (so far).

I do not know if the same applies for Ubuntu, it seems that the xorg.conf there contains the Driver "intel" section. For details check the ubuntuforums thread linked at the previous post by quantumphaze.

Anyway, you can try it and see what happens. Good luck!
