It seems that my problem is the same. My current configuration (testing some things :) is nvidia in agp port (main card) and very old pci s3:

00:09.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c775/86c785 [Trio 64V2/DX or /GX] (rev 14)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev a1)

When I boot dapper beta desktop cd, X won't load but ncurses window saying something like "X server configuration failed" appears instead. And then there is many times the prompt (ubuntu@ubuntu $) displayed. It happens with "Boot in safe graphics mode" too.
