Reference the "Ubuntu Community" fix for what I believe to be this problem, as
noted here:

I downloaded the iso file for the Ubuntu community CD, burned it, and then
today booted my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop with the i855GM graphics. 
The freeze that I experienced on openSUSE-11.2 and 11.3 M4 and M6 does NOT
occur with this special Ubuntu community test version.  I checked the
Xorg.0.log file i that Ubuntu liveCD and the "Intel" driver (version 2.11) is
being used with a Ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic kernel (which I presume has been
specially patched with the fix noted here
https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix.

There are so many various fixes around, this is a bit confusing.
