Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On a Dell Inspiron 700m laptop with an Intel 855GM video chip, Ubuntu
10.4 hangs on boot unless i915.modeset=1 is used as a boot option.
However, with this option set playing video with the Xv option using the
Overlay adapter crashes the computer. Video can be played with straight
X11, but is too slow without the chipset acceleration.

On Ubuntu 9.10 the same hardware boots properly with no option, and uses
the Xv support properly  if booted with "modeset".
