[ubuntu-x] testing legacy driver solution to Lucid freeze on 855GM gpu

[Steven]

Try running
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
and see what it wants to remove/install/upgrade/etc. If it doesn't want to
remove any packages, you should be alright installing it.

xserver-xorg-video-intel is the legacy driver we want to test, so it's very
important that it gets installed correctly (and also that you test it with
KMS disabled).
