Thanks for that!

Kernel 2.6.32-21-generic:
 - Confirmed works if 'startx' is done manually.
 - with 'text' on the kernel command line and then gdm is manually
('start gdm') started after logging in as root
Kernel 2.6.32-19-generic:
 - causes plymouth to crash. gdm manually started is NOT successfull.
X does not work either.
Kernel 2.6.32-18-generic:
 - as with 2.6.32-19-generic

Cheers,
Anand

> Most bug reports on i855 are probably due to the CPU/GPU incoherency problem that is now consolidated upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 (which was split off from a bug report for i845). For now, we mark all automatically reported GPU lockups on i855 as duplicates of this unless there is a reason not to. There are some tests you may do to help upstream with this issue, and I will come back with instructions here. For those of you who know how to patch and compile a kernel you may look at comment #30 (and #6 for what kind of feedback they want) in the upstream bug report. Actually, if someone could volunteer to build an ubuntu-packaged kernel with this patch for others to test, that would be nice.
