I have gathered some data which can be helpfull. First lspci.txt is the lspci output in this system. Second xorg.conf is the configuration file for X that is in use. Third two files output during the 'good' run (telinit 5): by X, Xorg.0.log by gdm, gdm:0.log Forth two same files output during the 'bad' run: by X, Xorg.0.log.old by gdm, gdm:0.log.1
As you will see there is no error (EE) lines in the X logs. Everything seems to work fine, but screen stays black or fuzzy with no cursor. The driver used is Vesa. As you asked me I have tried Ubuntu 9.04 but it fails also. Initially the desktop is drawn correctly, but the cursor is an absurd squared image broken by transparent vertical lines, much larger than the normal cursor. And if I click on Firefox icon, than all the screen gets fuzzy and no way to recover even with Ctrl+Alt+F1. So I have kept the old version, that I use with my telinit 5 system for now. All other computers I use have different processors or chipsets. My feeling is that the Via chipset is not well handled in the normal startup, but with my trick, it works fine...
