Comment 25 for bug 850895

I have just followed a suggestion here on my question about saving the output of vbeinfo by trying hwinfo: http://askubuntu.com/q/83085/18612 I'm not sure if the output gives any additional information that could be useful; it looks similar to but is not the same as what vbeinfo returns.

On an unrelated note, I am currently considering overwriting my 11.04 partition with a daily build of 12.04 for testing purposes (my 11.10 partition will remain untouched). I may or may not overwrite my current GRUB setup then with whatever 12.04 provides, which could allow me to check what the status of the problem is there. Is this a good idea?
