I booted the Karmic alpha 4 CD in safe mode, and X came up eventually in 800x600 resolution, apparently using the savage driver, after trying vesa first. The log is interesting ... a lot of tests resulted in a useable mode selection.
I would certainly appreciate the revival of the old boot-time screen mode selection from 6.06 and 7.xx versions, in this case! If I could boot into text mode, I could try inserting an xorg.conf file before starting with xinit. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log - after selecting safe mode at boot." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30399109/Xorg.0.log.vesa -- When using vesa driver system with S3 Inc.
