@Brian Rogers
Many thanks - I'd just like to report that your patch (linux-image-2.6.34-v9patch-generic) appears to be working perfectly for me, with my i855 HP Compaq Nx5000. I'm not trying anything fancy regarding video - but can report that the system now starts normally, no freeze during boot, and - so far - no odd messages. Further, using Cheese with my (equally) ancient webcam does not crash the system either, which happened with previous attempts at fixes. It is also remaining stable with advanced visual effects selected via desktop background. Only thing I haven't tried is suspend - but that is because I need to press down on the casing of my old machine near the power input to get it to power up at all with any OS - and I always had problems with suspend, anyway (go figure...). So I have removed the 10.04  rc7 Mainline kernel at last!! I'll report back if I get any problems.
Best
David
