In order to subscribe to the bug report at bugs.freedesktop.org you
first need an account. Go to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and click
"Open a new FreeDesktop Bugzilla account". Only then can you add your
email address to the CC field of the bug report.

The logs that I think are useful with all the three kernels are:
- the file generated from `dmesg >Dmesg.txt`
- the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log
- the file generated from `lspci -vvnn >Lscpi.txt`
- the file generated from `sudo intel_reg_dumper > Regdump.txt` (You will need one of the packages xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg or intel-gpu-tools for this, depending on the ubuntu version.)

I think the best option is if you file a new bug report with the
`ubuntu-bug` command, describe exactly what your setup, what you do and
what you observe, mention this bug report and upload the files I
described above. It is best if you do this with Lucid, which is the
current development version of Ubuntu, since there has been a lot of
changes since the software that is currently in Karmic was written.

And when you test, could you use the command `xrandr` instead of going
to System->Preferences->Display. It should do the same, but removes a
possible source of errors. The log files should be taken _after_ the
screen has gone black if possible. To do that you need to have openssh-
server installed and ssh in from another computer, since it is obviously
hard to do anything with a garbled screen.
