Bug Description
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 random freezes using kernal 2.6.24.16-generic
Total screen freeze, cannot move cursor, cannot exit using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, must do hard boot
Sorry, I am new at Linux and I do not know how to provide any more information than this:
Dell latitude x200
933 Mhz Pentium IIIM
Intel 830MG shared graphics
256 MB RAM @ 133 Mhz FSB
No wireless card
No devices connected

This problem seems to have gone away after specifying the use of the i810 driver in the xorg.conf file. Is it possible to automatically enable/specify xorg to use this driver when ubuntu is installed on systems using the intel 830MG shared graphics chipset? This would save novice users like me a ton of headaches. Thanks.
