I'm trying to boot the Intrepid Ibex Alpha 6 Live CD from USB on my HP 2133 Mininote Laptop. (The 2133 is running Hardy almost flawlessly right now). I select 'try live cd' boot option and then the grub splash screen works fine. I get the normal ubuntu progress bar. The progress bar runs to completion and then the screen blanks as the X server starts.

I then get the normal X windows 'busy' cursor used with Ubuntu. (Round white circle with black dots around the edge). However, the cursor is off center and corrupted a bit. But, most importantly, the laptop is completely frozen.

I tried booting with 'xforcevesa' with no success. I also hit 'esc' in Grub and then 'f4' to select the 'safe graphics mode' option and that also failed.

I'd be happy to try any experiments that you recommend to trouble-shoot this. For example, are there other Linux boot options (such as 'video' or 'vga') that would dumb-down the live CD X installer enough to get a handle on what's going wrong?
