Comment 252 for bug 541511

i haven't read everyone comment so not sure if this is fully relevant but some information posted here led me to a fix for my intel issue.

i followed the info on here. as shown on a comment. http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/

then i edited my xorg.conf to change the driver to intel (was using vesa because i couldn't get a display) so i assume thats what the GPU lock up people are referring too.

but after that i rebooted. it shows screen and enabled compiz effect so far no other issues.
If this helps someone awesome. if not oh well figure better get what i did that helped me out to maybe help another.
