** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  On my favourite (and only) little computer, a Dell Latitude C400, at
  boot up the Ubuntu splash screen flashes then ends with an unresponsive
  blank screen, the CPU heats up and the fan starts racing. This started
  after an upgrade from Lubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and continued after a fresh
  install of Ubuntu 10.10. Out of frustration, I attempted the following
  fix that I was using in 10.04 for a similar problem with the computer
  locking up and getting hot, but only when the lid was closed. With the
  xorg file edit, the splash screen flashes a bit, but settles down to a
  fully functioning system. I haven't tested closing the lid yet. Maybe
  after this bug report.
