(Get the code!)
Okay, I tried to reproduce the bug more carefully, so I can give a better report. Here are the details:
I downloaded the 9.04 (alpha3) AMD64 live desktop CD. I booted from it, using it as a live CD.
I ended up with a plain white screen. Hitting ctrl-alt-backspace had no visible effect.
When I tried to switch to a virtual terminal using ctrl-F1, ctrl-F2, etc., the screen when from all white to all black, and my monitor (the actual monitor) overlaid a message indicating that it's in 1920x1200 resolution. This is the only time I've ever seen my monitor bother to tell me that, and I don't know why it was doing it this time.
Hitting ctrl-F7 brings me back to the all-white screen.
I cannot give you and xorg.conf or xorg.0.log files, because this is a Live environment, which leaves no history on the hard drive and cannot be SSH'ed into.
