I've been having the same problem as well ever since the Beta came out. The system locks up and it won't do anything. The AGPMode comment that was left got me thinking and I did some poking around.

I've got a Compaq Evo N600c with 512 Megs of RAM. That card is an ATI Radeon Molbity M6 LY. The lsmod command comes up with the following two modules (among others):

intel_agp 24700 1
agpgart 36784 1 intel_agp

I checked with the dmesg command and it produced the following three lines:

[4294698.307000] Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
[4294698.314000] agpgart: Detected an Intel 830M Chipset.
[4294698.329000] agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x60000000

Now I know in the previous version of Ubuntu, my card used the radeon module. I believe there is also an ati-agp module. Are these on-board chips getting detected incorrectly?
