  [arrandale] Integrated intel graphics GMA HD doesn't work

Bug description:
  The new Intel processors have the graphics card integrated on
  themselves. As it turns out, current stable ubutnu (10.04) with all
  updates applied cannot boot with this graphics adapter,.

  The only working solution as of now is to: set Xorg driver to vesa and
  pass i915.modeset=0 parameter to kernel in grub.

  It is possible to use x-updates ppa to get newer intel driver, which
  allows to use external monitor, however, if one doesn't connect
  external monitor to the computer, the system won't boot. So, the
  workaround is the only solution for a notebook at the moment

  Seems that a newer kernel (branch 2.6.33 at minimum) and new intel
  driver are both needed to get this work properly. The current Maverick
  Meerkat alpha fails to boot as well.

   I found a bug on LP related to this, but reported only with new
  MacBooks and it's connected with ATI driver. I think that this bug
  probably affects all notebooks which use Core i5 and it's integrated
  graphics chip. Confirmed on 2 different Lenovo models and a Dell
  laptop.
