It looks likely that we'll be blacklisting KMS for this chip in Lucid to work around other bugs. It would be helpful if users experiencing this bug could try disabling KMS (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting if you are unsure how to do this) and see if it fixes the problem for you.

If there seems to be a consensus favoring blacklisting KMS, then we'll reassign this bug to the kernel and have andy blacklist for us.

If anyone finds that their i845 system works *worse* with KMS turned off for some reason, please shout; I wouldn't expect turning KMS to cause regressions so this would be a surprise, but with i8xx weirder things have been known to happen!
