Oops, after 14 hours being on, I was composing a Yahoo message and X failed.

This is a continuation of Comment #53. Lucid Beta 2 had stayed up about 16 hours.

Since KMS was not on, I was able to ssh in and get a dump with i915 error state, Xorg.0.log, dmessage. With KMS on, when X fails, nothing will run not even ssh.

Rebooting took a couple tries. Even though /etc/default/grub specifies i915.modeset=0 this is NOT on the recovery mode kernel line so it comes up with KMS on, and of course startx fails on this i845.
