Title:
  [i965gme] Freezes when attempting to switch to projector (or just
  detect them)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Using up-to-date lucid as of 28th december, GME965/960 graphics.

  Attempting to plug-in external projector makes the computer freeze,
  even just opening the display dialog with a projector connected makes
  it freeze (no mouse movement).

  Booting up with projector plugged in results in many out of memory
  errors until eventually the kernel panics due to out of memory.

  The problem is fixed in linux 2.6.33-rc1. The commit that fixed it has
  been identified as:

      drm/edid: Unify detailed block parsing between base and extension blocks
      
      Also fix an embarassing bug in standard timing subblock parsing that
      would result in an infinite loop.
