Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Can't install or run live CD of Ubuntu Karmic RC.
During installation X freezes at 2nd or 3rd step.
During live CD session system hangs after few seconds/minutes, after I have clicked on something.
I managed to disable desktop effects and it still freezes.
I assume it's X crashing because it's almost identical (possibly duplicate) to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/447892. However I can't even install the system from Desktop CD.

lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02)

Can't attach Xorg log because I don't have Karmic installed (or at least
I don't know of a way). Jaunty would crash frequently too, even after
workarounds from forum (newer kernel, Xorg swat/edgers etc.). It didn't
crash so quickly though, anyway still using Hardy.

Mouse pointer still working after freeze, keyboard locked (no Alt+F1 or
CapsLock), SysReq+Alt+K closes X but can't restart it. All I can do is
restart my Asus laptop with SysReq+Alt+REISUB.
