Confirming on another Optiplex 745 under Hardy, latest kernel 2.6.24.19 and intel driver package 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.4.
Note that, for Dells at least, the specific motherboard version seems to make a difference (as for the reboot problem in bug 115011 - see my comments there). With my m/board code 0KW628, it hard locks. A colleague also has an Optiplex 745, but with m/board code 0WK833 and he has no problems (still same chipset and onboard graphics as far as I can see). Don't know if that might help with diagnosis. Also can confirm workaround using i810 driver (logon screen is wrong resolution - only see top left quarter - but then fine once logged in). I assume only potential issues are reduced graphics performance. P.S. I haven't tried the older Hardy intel driver version 2:2.2.1-ubuntu12; don't know if that might be a (better?) workaround but presume may break other stuff. P.P.S. Off topic but, AFAIK, the intel driver is just a more modern version of the i810 one (is it a fork?)? What are the differences / release strategies? Are they managed by separate development teams?
