i845G with Lucid 2.6.32-10 boots to black screen unless at grub I do down arrow, e, end, nomodeset, Crl-x.

Then runs a few minutes with Gnome, then FREEZE. ssh doesn't even work. Dead altogether. Can't do batchbuffer dump if ssh doesn't work since lucid is dead stopped altogether.

With LXDE runs tens of minutes then FREEZE. ssh doesn't even work. Dead altogether.

Culprit from /var/log/Xorg.0.log is:

 2.634776] (II) LoadModule: "evdev"
[ 2.635818] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
[ 2.636237] (II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
 compiled for 1.7.2, module version = 2.3.2
 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
 ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0

Namely intel driver 2.3.2. which just came in on a deadly update.

How do I back level xorg intel driver to one that works, example karmic level?

Thanks much, jerry
