Brian Roger's experimental kernel:

Linux version 2.6.34rc3-51-generic (buildd@radon) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) #2-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 13:31:29 UTC 2010

No xorg.conf.
KMS is up, quiet splash.
ssh in from a Thinkpad T40 just in case. Previously if X fails, KMS fails, and Lucid is dead altogether and ssh can't work but we'll see.

Running two Firefox windows, one with YouTube video, other this "Add comment".
Also tried GtkPerf at the same time. Kinda sluggish as would be expected but still ran.

Downloading Picasa3 from Google. Went out of the room.

Oops, crashed all the way down to power off, the ssh got a broken pipe.

Tried booting a couple times with KMS and intel driver, got the complaint about low graphics mode and wouldn't run even though it had earlier.
Tried booting with i915.modeset=0 and intel driver, got the complaint about low graphics mode but got to a login and tried dumping some logs, attached.

Tried booting with kernel 2.6.32-21 and intel driver, crashed while trying to Add a comment on launchpad.

Now booted up with experimental kernel, i915.modeset=0, and "vesa" driver. I couldn't get it up without "vesa".
