I've found this effects Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome) and heard it effects Fedora 13.
The system locks when it starts X.
My system is a Dell Latitude D400 (I don't have more specs at this time). I
also ran across this on a Toshiba (cannot recall the model at this time)
I managed to get Ubuntu to boot up into graphical mode by appending
"i915.modeset=1" to the bootup script. Unfortunately this wasn't enough for
video playback and webcam.
I applied the patch for the system (steps described below) which has allowed
the system to boot in without any issues and be able to play video files
(flash, etc.). It does not, however, provide for Desktop effects or webcam
video (Cheese). Running into these freezes up X, yet I was able to get into a
terminal with Cntl+F2 (ttyl2?) to restart the system.

I hope to be able to set up my system with openSUSE 11.3M* for further testing.
