Public bug reported:
A 915GM machine using GMA900 does not work with the intel X driver.
After update, from kernel messages Ubuntu goes to black screen:

fix:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure Xorg
restart
then X in low-res, failsafe mode.

Since the Intel graphics don't work, here's a get-around:
create /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel GMA900"
Driver "fbdev"
EndSection
X now works, but intel driver doesn't
