Public bug reported:

I just did a fresh install of 8.04 32 bit. After the installation, The display 
does not work. I get the flashing random colors. Trying to get to console  
using Alt F1 it hangs. 
I am using Sun workstation w2100 with nvidia fx5200 and dell 20in wide screen 
monitor.  The beta version was working but very slow ( xorg was using70-90% of 
one of the cpus)
Ubuntu 7.10 was working good.

here is the xorg.conf information ( it seems it did not configure the
video card )

        Driver          "kbd"
