Bryce, on 3 of my 4 test pc's Lucid Beta with updates from end of March through 1 April were dead or not really usable with KMS problems until I saw in the forums to use "i915.modeset=0" for the i830 and i845, even though they are not i915. The i830 (the one I'm using here) wouldn't even boot in "recovery" mode only rescued by doing ssh from another pc.

The ati Mobility 7500 also failed within 2 minutes of logging in to AOL mail until I put in "radeon.modeset=0".

All three were running O.K. on Karmic, with KMS on on the i845 and ati but "nomodeset" on the i830.
