I can confirm this problem. I was able to install ubuntu 10.04 but after install you can't start Xs. This is solvable disabling noveau from grub and uninstalling noveau in text mode. In ubuntu 10.10 is other history, you can't even run the installation and the only way I could install it was downloading the special text mode ubuntu iso.
I think, ubuntu should always install using max video compatibility and during installation ask if you want to use noveau or privative drivers.
