This problem still exists in Lucid Beta 2. I replicated this exactly on my Acer Aspire Revo R3600 - X crashes and causes a total system hang. I can boot from the Lucid live cd but only by using the nomodeset xforcevesa options... Chewit: can you advise the workaround you used to get Lucid booting

You can add “nomodeset xforcevesa” to the boot line of the LiveCD which will use VESA driver as a fallback; this should work. Sorry. I didn't notice that you were booting without your only display plugged in. I'm somewhat surprised that other drivers work without any monitor plugged in;

We have all of the patches identified in the Lucid kernel already - these were all in 2.6.33, and Lucid kernels from 2.6.32-16 onwards have the drm component of 2.6.33. If those patches fix this problem, then the Beta 1 livecd certainly has them. Could you please retest? ** Changed in:
