Comment 9 for bug 59618

Please escalate the importance of this bug. More duplicate reports keep coming in. "Safe graphics mode" is a workaround for many gfx problems troubling x.org with certain chipsets. Bug #22985 is just one example of what can go wrong. All the other popular gfx chipsets have problems that bite users, as well.

Using the vesa driver for X has always been a good workaround to get the system to a working state. Now this doesn't work any more and many new users will not be able to get X running at all. Judging the number of bug duplicate bug reports that have been trickling in so, you will lose a big number of new users because of this bug unless you act quickly and escalate this problem.
