Hi,
we have some old dell optiplex 745 machines which have the Intel 965q
chipset. The problem is, that they freeze as soon as the system tries to
start the X system. It happens even before any log is written. This happens
almost every time (for some reason it sometimes work, but 99% it fails).
When i change the graphic driver in xorg.conf from intel to vesa it mostly
works, but still i sometimes get a flickering screen, but this can mostly be
resolved using ctrl+alt+backspace (sometimes you have to try this twice). We
use the 1024x768 and 24 bit colors, so this shouldn't be the problem.

Does anyone know a fix for this problem?

Janez
