Same bug found on my desktop system with a Pentium 4 3 GHz processor on an Intel 915GAV motherboard with latest upgraded packages as of 2011-Jun-09.

Googling, I found http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3116630.0 but the workaround it suggests is to add i915.modeset=0 to the kernel options. However, my monitor is an LG 17 inch monitor with resolution 1360x768, and using the above kernel option only gives me 1024x768 as my resolution which is horrible to look at. I can't login to Natty on my desktop till this bug is fixed.

This bug does not exist on my laptop, a Compaq Presario C770TU, which is why I say "on my desktop".

Please can it be fixed soon? Thanks.
