You can change the driver to "vesa by getting to a console by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or is it Alt+F1? I can't remember). Then shut down GDM by
typing:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
Then you edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf with for example 'nano' by
typing:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
There should be a "Device"-section that looks like this (there might be
more lines of text between "Section" and "EndSection", but mine just
looks like this when using the Intrepid Alpha 6 Live CD):
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
In this section add a line with the text "Driver "vesa"". Doing so with
the example above would make it look like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Now start GDM again by typing:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
