Hi kjloh, I'm sorry you're having troubles with Ubuntu on this laptop.
Unfortunately we are not providing X development support in the distro
for 8xx, as we've found it to be too labor intensive to provide
development support for these older chipsets directly in the distro.
Instead, I would recommend you work directly with upstream by filing a
bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/, as they're in a better
position to validate fixes and work with you to test their future
changes.

It sounds like you have a good lead on this being a regression between
.37 and .38, which is a very strong clue.  You may be able to do a git
bisect to the kernel to locate the offending patch.  If you do, then
share this info with upstream, which will help them identify the flaw
and get the fix into a future upstream release that we can pull in for
Ubuntu.  (We probably won't backport i855 fixes, since we've tended to
find it can lead to unexpected regressions, but we will take i855 fixes
via new upstream releases.)

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
