I marked bug 267115 as a duplicate of this bug. I could not get Intrepid to load the LiveCD. (But, I did not try the 'secure mode' install). I was able to get it installed by upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid and then manually selecting the xorg.conf.failsafe config file that uses the VESA driver.

For some reason, I never encountered this problem with Hardy, possibly because I used the kernel arg 'xforcevesa'. I tried that with Intrepid and it apparently had no affect. The X server would not start correctly until I explicitly set:

driver "vesa"

in xorg.conf.
