Identical problem on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo P4 with integrated Intel 82845GL Graphics Card.
After Intrepid installation from Alternate CD, no display (Black Screen) until I disabled compiz (recommended somewhere in the forum). New kernel 2.6.27-7-generic broke situation again.
Tried Kubuntu installation from Live CD and after some tweaking all seems OK.
Changing xorg.conf did NOT seem to change anything and I've read that xorg.conf is not called in II. A clean, faultless installation remains the best marketing that Ubuntu can have. It deserves the full attention of all resources.
So many people are trying Ubuntu on elderly hardware to improve performance... but it appears as if the attention on bugfixes is on more modern systems.
