After clicking Logout from the right upper corner of the screen, it became WHITE then it darkened again with a white band around it, at the margins. Frozen laptop, I had to restart again using the same magical combinations as above. Also, in all steps from above, XFIX from the recovery Menu didn't help at all.

Two suggestions:

1. Please also provide links to the 2 (more?) launchpad bug reports and
1 (more?) question request(s) that you've filed. I saw them the other
day but haven't the time to look them up again; they will help folks
trying to help knowing that you did take the time to use launchpad.

2. It might be worthwhile to try 8.04 (hardy) rather than jaunty. There
have been considerable video driver issues in jaunty, some in intrepid,
but hardy is reasonably stable.

Wish I could help more, but I've no hardware similar to yours. Good luck.
