1. The duplicate status is inappropriate, even though the linked report(s) is/are very similar. Each display controller/display combination behaves a bit differently from the others.

2. This is an update for "intrepid" 8.10, run from the desktop CD as a live CD. The boot proceeds properly, but only the 800x600 mode (or lower) works, as with earlier 8.x releases. It is necessary, again, to add the 7.10 xorg.conf, to attain 1024x768 resolution.

See also bug 294899, which describes a similar (but worse) situation with the same Samsung display but with an S3 display controller.

Here I have attached the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file generated by booting from the 8.10 desktop CD as a live CD.
