Toshiba Satellite 1110 with small video memory also has this problem.
Tried above suggestions related to xorg.conf and acceleration settings, this results in a system that refuses to boot into Ubuntu and has to be hard reset.
What does work (so far) on this machine is to set System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects to "None".
However good luck getting to change the setting in the GUI since it defaults to "Normal" which is marginally usable on this old machine.
