That worked. I booted the live CD with the default settings (no "safe graphics mode"),
let it run through the countdown - black screen - countdown loop a couple of times,
and then aborted the countdown by choosing "Failsafe Terminal".

I will attach copies of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/gdm/:0.log.1 saved
from the failsafe terminal session. The latter ends with an assertion failure from the
X server; I assume that is what's causing the crash:

  X: r300_emit.c:403: r300EmitArrays: Assertion `((inputs_bitset)[((_TNL_ATTRIB_COLOR0) / (sizeof (GLuint) * 8))] & (1 << ((_TNL_ATTRIB_COLOR0) % (sizeof (GLuint) * 8))))' failed.
