Title:
  Intel Graphic chips bug(s)

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. Original bug was where the graphics would normally work but every
  so often the screen would be corrupted with horizontal lines of junk.

  After much research I found a primitive fix for that:-
  * edit /etc/default/grub to add nomodeset to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
  * sudo update-grub
  * reboot

  2. Now the system will only allow VGA 640x480 graphics

  This is occurring on an Intel 829845G/GZ chipset
