Bug Description

I have an HP Pavilion N5340 and am trying to install Xubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4. The regular install CD couldn't run so I tried the alternate install CD. After installation it tries to run in low graphics mode, this fails and the computer locks up. Even ctrl-alt-prnt_scr doesn't respond.
Here's what lspci gives me:
01:01.0 VGA compaible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13)
