Geir, karmic 2.6.31-16 runs without nomodeset, i.e. KMS on. Karmic runs normally with default intel xorg and default grub.cfg. Now earlier karmics from late June thru sometime in August also would fail, but karmic RC does not have that problem.
I can try v2.6.32-rc2 etc. to see what fails on lucid. When it fails I can do ubuntu-bug xorg from the command line & save the apport file and whatever else might be useful. I don't know if apport includes Xorg.0.log and .xsession-errors. I also did get failures with lucid after a while the screen locks up doing something like making a launchpad entry. Seems to me that's a different bug, I don't remember the bug # at the moment. karmic and jaunty don't get those on this pc. At the moment not booting at all is more important to me.
