I finally submitted this problem with the vesa driver as bug 414330
half an hour ago, using the ubuntu-bug program.

BTW this system is set up to triple-boot into XP, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD
7.1. I just set up Xorg and Gnome on the FreeBSD partition - and the
vesa driver on that behaves the same way - the system
I recently did a new installation on the gBox computer mentioned above.
It now runs hardy 8.04.3 LTS with a vesa driver - I installed it by
installing first 6.06.1 LTS (in safe mode with screen resolution
specified explicitly) then upgrading. This system works, but crashes

Peter, I updated the Hardy xserver-xorg-video-savage package on
https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/ppa to the latest version,
so you can try it (I haven't tested it myself).

Thanks, Tormod - I just downloaded
xserver-xorg-video-
savage_2.3.1~git20090813.36ab23a9-0ubuntu0tormod~hardy_i386.deb
to my laptop ... is that the right one?
I'll install it once I get back to that system.

Tormod - installing your savage driver solved the problem. After
installing it, I disabled Xorg running at runlevel 2 by renaming the
symlink to gdm in /etc/rc2.d and restarting the system (with the reset
button this time), then booting and determining that 'reboot' works
properly from the shell,
The patch that was reported to fix the startup failure in this bug
report is now included in Jaunty, so I am closing the bug. Please reopen
if the same failure persists, but file new bugs for other bugs.

Hugh,
what I did is that I installed from the Ubuntu 8.10 server CD. IIRC I then
installed GNOME manually with apt-get (which of course pulled in X11) and used
an old xorg.conf file.

Is there a fix for Intrepid? I'm trying to install Mythbuntu 8.10 and
have hit this problem. I duplicated the problem with Ubuntu 8.10.
(For what it is worth, Fedora 10 has this problem too.)

I can confirm that your patch
(xserver-xorg-video-savage_2.2.1+git20081230.aea0496f-0ubuntu0tormod4_i386.deb)
fix the startup problem.
Today I installed jaunty on a pc with a S3 ProSavage8 (KM266/KL266) graphic
card and X didn't start. So I search on launchpad for a bug report and found
this
Yes, you can install the driver on the live CD (explained in comment 26)
but installing Jaunty is good also.
You get poor resolution because the EDID information from the monitor
can not be retrieved, and X falls back to conservative settings. You
will need to add sync ranges to your xorg.conf
Ok, done.
Well, I didn't try installing your package on the live CD system (I'd be
surprised if that's possible), but I made a jaunty alpha 3 install on a
disk partition that has no valuable data. I had to use the alternate
install CD for this: Installation with the desktop CD totally fails
