Ok!  Ladies and Gentlemen!  Chris Wilson of upstream fame has done some
work to re-integrate a legacy driver for the Intel cards that have been
hard done by in the GEM transition.

The xserver-xorg-video-intel packages in
https://edge.launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/aubergine have a GEM-less
legacy driver re-integrated which is activated when KMS is disabled -
which it is by default on your card for Lucid.

It would be useful if you could remove any work-arounds you've used to
get your system more stable and test the drivers from this PPA.  They
should hopefully end up slightly more stable than the drivers in Ubuntu
9.04 (Jaunty), which were the last set of drivers to not use the GEM
memory manager, and so significantly more stable than the drivers in
Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 (Karmic and Maverick).

Could you please test the drivers from this PPA and report your
experiences with them?
