Comment 31 for bug 220135

Hello there. I am still following this thread because I have the exact same
problem. My equipment is a Dell Optiplex 745 coupled with a 2407WFP
monitor. I used to enjoy native resolution (1920x1200) with gutsy, but I
have had nothing but problems since hardy. All the problems that have been
described in this thread, I've had, re the system freezing at boot, after
locking the screen, etc etc. From all I have tried I discovered I could get
the display to be 1600xsomething or other (everything a little chubby
looking) and no system freezes if in xorg.conf I set the driver to "i810".
Today, after reading all over the web, I set the driver to "intel". Voila,
for the first time in months I had native resolution and all was well until
I rebooted. System freeze, same at start up. Put the old xorg.conf to
work. But something seems very broken. The system won't start at all
(except in recovery mode, of course). I have given up on Ubuntu for this
machine for now and I am typing this in Windows XP. It has been a very
frustrating 4 months or longer.

But I will keep checking this thread, hoping for a solution.
