I've had the 'Option "modeSwitch" "new"' in xorg.conf already.
What is happening with the 2.6.32-12-generic kernel is that the screen starts getting dark (mostly dark gray) after selecting the recovery mode, but I can type commands 'blind' to start up Xorg - first selecting the root shell from the menu, then entering my root password, then running a script which starts up some daemons - and then the login screen will appear. So it doesn't really hang up in recovery mode, I just can't see what I am typing. The time it takes to get dark seems to vary. I think this is a viafb driver problem - does that sound right? Up to a day or so ago, the Xorg.0.log was showing a failure to find viafb when booting failed, a number of times. Now I've been seeing situations where Xorg.0.log is empty, instead. I'm sending this from another computer - I'll log in to launchpad on the laptop and attach the .xsession-errors and latest Xorg.0.log files now.

That's why you have a UNIX or Linux or BSD server for backups.
