Hi there,

I tried the legacy driver per the wiki instructions 
[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes#Legacy%20Driver] 
because I've been having trouble with X freezing after resuming from 
suspend (bug #582057 in xserver-xorg-video-intel 
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/582057]).

After booting, the screen cycled repeatedly between trying to load GDM 
and crashing, obviously rendering the driver unusable on my system.

System:

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Linux 2.6.32-24-generic

Graphics:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL 
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04)


Sincerely,

Taylor Brown
