Replying myself to the previous question: no improvement for me. After adding *Driver "i810"* to my xorg.conf, rebooting resulted in low graphics mode. Changing (back) to *Driver "intel"*, the problems still persist: (Prob. No. 1) Logging out of the X session, I get just a black screen, out of which I can just Ctrl+Alt+F1 into a virtual terminal. This happens most of the time, but once in a while the GDM login screen starts normally (or after a couple of seconds of flashing on the black screen). (Prob. No. 2) If I turn "Desktop Effects" on (or run "compiz --replace"), the system (or Xorg) freezes (after "Checking for available drivers...") so that I can see just the wallpaper and the keyboard stops responding, so that I can only hard-reboot.
