Bug Description
I have a Radeon 9200 (R250) and 1680x1050 laptop LCD. I tried to test the new failsafe mode, so I:
1. deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf, reboot, the display is autodetected and works properly as if nothing happend (scrolling with my synaptics pad does not work, but I guess this is not supported yet?)
2. create empty xorg.conf: touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot, the screen blinks once as if X is trying to start but nothing happens, it stays at the console login prompt, I can see gdm is running in the background with one zombie child process "kill <defunct>"
If I understand the Bullet Proof X spec., a dialog in low-res vesa mode should be shown, allowing me to configure the display settings, which does not happen.
(I am running gutsy beta right now, upgraded from feisty with update-manager -d)

Hmm, can you try this on 7.10 final or Hardy alpha3?
