Hey all. I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 2600 and I have done enough
research to find the problem here. I didn't actually try to install 9.04
because of what I found.

Here is the official Canonical bug report. It doesn't give any helpful information to fix the problem. I emailed "Bryce" and he basically (but nicely) said that the problem is Intel's and Canonical doesn't have any plans to resolve it.

Here is a workaround that someone used with 8.04 Hardy. Xorg was introduced with 8.10, I believe, so I don't know if the same "fix" will work. You may need to downgrade to 8.04 Hardy and use this workaround to get anywhere. There are more detailed instructions in the comment from paul on Sun 06 Apr 2008 @ 16:20.
