This problem also occurs on ASUS M5000N notebooks which use the i855GM graphics chipset. I have
just installed Ubuntu 4.10 "Warty Warthog" Release, but when it starts X I get a blank green
screen.

To fix this problem put the following line in the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Option "DisplayInfo" "FALSE"

The 855patch or 855wrap hacks are not needed with the above line. Also, I thought that these
hacks were intended to fix problems with the chipset when it comes out of the various suspend
modes and has the incorrect memory allocated.
