Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on Dell Dimension 2400

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex server on my Dell Dimension 2400. It was locking up after I would log in. I found the problem and workaround on Ubuntu's forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970037

and here on Ubuntu's bug tracker:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/259385

I applied the workaround and the login proceeded normally. Yay.
