[Bug 339198] [NEW] Ubuntu hangs; Intel G33 low resolution

[Ace Suares]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On an ASRock motherboard with built-in Intel G33:
- Booted Intrepid LiveCD. Worked fine.
- Installed Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 from the LiveCD.
- After mandatory reboot, a black screen with a dialog saying that Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. 
- Mouse and keyboard don't react. Have to reset (cold boot) the computer.

- Rebooted in Recovery mode. Tried XFIX, didn't work.
- Did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. Rebooted. Same problem.

- Rebooted, but now with older kernel. The LiveCD installed 2.6.27-11 and 2.6.27-7.
- Normal boot (not recovery boot) with 2.6.27-7 worked perfectly!
- Updates where available in update-manager. These installed new 2.6.27-11 kernel stuff.

- Reboot (with new kernel 2.6.27-11) worked perefectly!
