Bug description:
  Seen on Dell Inspiron E1505 with integrated Intel graphics 945GM and
  using intel i810 driver. If you connect an external LCD/CRT monitor to
  the VGA port and cycle through all display modes using Fn+F8 , it
  works for the first few times and then the screen goes blank and only
  way to recover the system is to reboot it.

  rez@rez-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-i810
