** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xorg
+ Please add i830 (8086:3577) to the kernel drm KMS blacklist.
  
+ Testing has shown that KMS support for the i830 chipset is inadequate,
+ often resulting in a regression where the system hangs during boot up.
+ While the issues have been reported upstream, solutions seem not soon
+ forthcoming.  Testers have found that booting with i915.modeset=0
+ generally tends to restore the system functionality.
+

+ [Original Report]
  Dell C400 with Intel 82830 CGC, booting
  lucid 2.6.32-16-generic causes screen to flash
  several times and graphics are then hung
  with blank screen and no cursor. No response
  to ctrl-alt-F1. Backlight eventually turns off
  and then comes back when Shift is pressed.
  Remote login with ssh works OK.
