Installed 20100407 which ran for 5 hours with KMS on i845 video graphics
and was entering a comment here when screen flashed black then to
command line like Ctrl-Alt-F1 a couple times then crashed hard.  Could
not even ssh in.

I don't think Ubuntu had time to record anything useful but I ran
ubuntu-bug xorg see Bug#558613 after booting up.

I'd strongly recommend "i915.modeset=0" default for both i845 and i830.
Most of the time over the last year while Ubuntu has been working on KMS
it has not worked on these video graphics, or if it does briefly a
"dread update" makes them unstable.

If someone wants to turn KMS on and try it, O.K., but in my experience
not for an ordinary user as default.
