Due to an ABI change in Xorg 1.7, the older binary packages built
against 1.6 won't work, so new packages have to be recompiled for 1.7.
And unfortunately I wasn't able to easily compile the older driver
versions on Lucid.

I didn't investigate yet how much work it'd take to work around this
problem, since I'm focused on the Karmic freeze issue right now, but the
better solution may in fact be to roll back the X server itself to 1.6,
or reinstall Karmic for testing purposes.

When you say it boots to a black screen with KMS, do you mean even
before X starts the system freezes? Have you tried leaving KMS on, but
removing 'splash' from the command line? Does it hang right away, or
when it starts X? And if it hangs starting X, what happens if you
disable auto-login? Can you then get to the login screen?

If you can reproduce a hang even before X starts, then we can rule out
the X intel driver. It'd mean it's definitely a kernel bug.

BTW, "module version = 2.3.2" is referring to the input device driver,
evdev. The current intel driver version in Lucid is 2.9.1.
