I've the same problem with karmic release candidate on my Asus A3N (Intel 855GM Chipset for video). The system freezes, sometimes few seconds after GDM starts, sometimes I can log and use the computer between 10 seconds and 60 seconds. When the system has freezed, I can always move mouse but it's all, nothing else respond.
To install Karmic release candidate I use the alternative CD and its text mode, impossible with the desktop CD, always freezing.
I've this problem on my laptop since the RC. With a fresh install of the Beta I don't have problem, but exactly the same problem produce if I upgrade the Beta with synaptic.
I've tried the karmic Kubuntu RC, exactly the same problem.
I've tried the tip of i915.modeset=0 at boot time, no sucess, always same problem.

The laptop is unusable.
