Sorry for the delay. Here are the requested log files in a tarball:

lp1169004-logs/normal/dmesg
lp1169004-logs/normal/Xorg.0.log
  -> logs from a normal boot, where X works just fine

lp1169004-logs/failsafe/dmesg
lp1169004-logs/failsafe/Xorg.failsafe.log
  -> logs from a recovery boot with failsafeX not working

Incidentally, the definition of "not working" varies. Sometimes, the
trackpad works to control the GUI, so this is merely a "keyboard-hostile
GUI" bug. Sometimes, the trackpad doesn't work at all, and failsafeX is
completely unusable. It's not clear what the conditions are, but it
*seems* like the trackpad works in failsafeX after a reboot. But if I
run two failsafeX sessions in the same boot, the second one is
completely unusable -- no keyboard control, no mouse control, no
trackpad control.

The failure modes are subtly different in Ubuntu 13.04, but still there.
Overall, failsafeX in 13.04 seems a bit more reliable, keyboard-
controllable, and less likely to lose touch with the trackpad. But I
still get occasional glimpses of the nasty unusability I saw in 12.10.
No clue how to reliably reproduce those problems, though. ;-(
