Startup annoyance of X with Intel driver

[Yves Glodt]

Hello,

always when I start/restart X, it takes a notable time to startup, and 
it seems to make several "attempts" to find the good resolution (which 
is 1280x800 in my case), and the screen flashes while doing that. I 
have recorded a small video showing the effect, you can download it 
here:

I have this on ubuntu feisty using the v1.9.94 driver, and also on 
gutsy, with the 2.1 version of the Intel driver.

Is this a general problem, or related to my hardware only?
My hardware is this:
yves at viking:~$ lspci | grep Graph
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 
945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML 
Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)


best regards,
yves
