Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

This seems similar to the i845/Karmic bugs above.
I have an 82815 controller with an i810 card using a Gateway ev910monitor.
Up until now this has never happened with an install of Ubuntu.
When using the GDM at 1280:1024 resolution, regardless if the GL support is installed or not installed, the login screen continues to loop back to the initial name input level a various number of times. Trying different input methods like "other" and using the abbreviated name instead of the full name appears to work but not always. The loop continues as many as a dozen or more times or as little as 2 or three times. In order to circumvent this I installed the XDM  and performed reconfigure of the GDM using the xterm in the panel at the base of the login screen. There seemed to be no gripe about the xterm screen except it was really tiny and up and off to the left. The XDM had no issues on login and gave me a huge old Welcome to Debian Panel which seemed to have no issues.
The message I get has various numbers at the front which change for each loop but the following part of the message when looping is always the same.i810_Wait_Ring: Lockup *ERROR* space 65520 wanted 65528.

I removed the xorg package as it kept having the libdrm-radeon1 and the libgl1-mesa-dri after the situation got worse.
It does seem to want to call the i910 instead of the i810.
