I used the alternate installation CD, because the desktop CD did not work (neither normal nor safe graphics mode) perhaps for the same reason as the the installed system does not work.

I am currently unable to get a working xorg-server for the mentioned hardware configuration. I've tried the following configurations:
1. With an empty xorg.conf (using the intel driver) as supplied by default
At first I get a distorted picture, but after a few seconds I'm thrown back to the console.
see Xorg.0.log.empty
2. Using an old working
... (sequel - attachment form did not work as expected)
2. using an old working configuration from dapper (the most recent version of ubuntu that's known to work on this machine) which uses i810.
same result as with the empty configuration
(see Xorg.0.log.dapper for a log of the working configuration in ubuntu 6.06)
3. using the old configuration but with "vesa" instead of "i810"
I get the same distorted image but now it stays and additionally the whole screen is continously filled with an ever growing blur.
(see Xorg.0.log.vesa)
