Having trouble getting the box to boot at all with Lucid + xorg-edgers,
as xserver-xorg-video-intel requires mode switching enabled in the
kernel but leaving nomodeset=1 off the options line makes the machine
boot into a video mode that its monitor doesn't support (probably
related to bug 522488).

As far as I've been able to determine by experiment, the Karmic kernels
completely ignore the vga= option, and rely on EDID to work out what
resolution to use. For those of us unfortunate enough to own screens

Will report freezes if any occur.

Brian: after the last freeze, I accidentally rebooted into your patched
