Brian, I did the: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brian-rogers/intel-shadow and then the apt-get update & apt-get upgrade commands.
because (I guess) KMS was still enabled I always had a black screen after bootup. The sequence was this: IBM BIOS screen Grub loading stage1.5. Starting up ...(bold) Starting up ...(thin) Ubuntu (white) + the five red dots black screen + fixed cursor at upper left corner (monitor LED is fixed green) the little drum sound (which says the "GUI" is ready) but I could almost always do CTRL-ALT-F1 and (blindly) to a text login and then reboot. then I disabled KMS and I can now have the GNOME logon screen but however is sticks at 640x480, i.e. using gnome-display-properties (because you cannot have access to the "System" menu at 640x480) you cannot change anything; the detect monitor" button does nothing. I am right now adding this comment using this VGA resolution... Here attached more details on my current configuration. Tell me if you need more information.
