Aeb1barfo: This bug report has gone way too complicated - some of the problems were fixed a long time ago, others persist.
Update: I've run the 10.10 Maverick Meerkat live CD on this Averatec 3280 system, and the remaining problems are:
- I can't switch to a text console. Also that has gotten worse - on trying to switch back, I end up with a screen background but no top or bottom panels.
- On booting, X starts up in 1600x1200 resolution, so it's necessary to change that after starting up. Adding an xorg.conf file allows for setting the proper startup resolution (1024x768).
