I dont know if this information will help but:

I have temporarily installed Debian Testing - Lenny.

Fully updated (as of yesterday) (xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.3.2-2+lenny4), xserver-xorg-core (2:1.4.2-5) , linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 (2.6.26-4) ) and it froze quickly (within the hour but I was not at the machine).

Adding the pipe-A option and vga=733 to grub and the machine has been running 24hours 100% stable (including closing lid a few times), though I am suffering occasional screen artifacts which go away after a screen refresh (eg changing to a tty and back)

These are the only changes made to Debian and Ubuntu. Both running 100% default desktop/laptop configurations.
