re: entry nr 123 where I wrote that I followed the procedure proposed by Elena.. I can now indeed boot the system succesfully.  When  I play an embedded videofile in Firefox however my system crashes, showing a few lines of text, blank(black)  screen, few lines, b lank, etc etc. I have to press the on/off button to restart the system. I had ubuntu-restricted-extras installed btw.
When I try the same videofile on a very old laptop (EVO N600c, not a intel 855 graphics card) with a fresh install of lucid and also ubuntu-restricted-extras, the system reboots spontaneously. On the EVO I did not have to perform the "i955.modeset=1" procedure btw (see the original entry by Elena mentioned in entry nr 123). It booted from the livecd and I could install lucid without problems. 
Enabling KMS mode does not solve all problems with the i855 card or so it seems. The developers probably had a reason to disable it.
