Symptoms I get with my configuration: (VIA P4M900 + VIA Chrome9 IGP)
1. I can't even get a working framebuffer without adding vga=791 on grub. This also happens even in the alternate Hardy install CD. (which means I need to add vga=791 when installing Ubuntu) (bug report pending)
2. xorg autodetects openchrome driver in Hardy, but giving a blank screen, probably due to screen resolution or refresh rate or frozen (bug report pending)
3. when vesa is chosen manually in xorg.conf, I can login just fine FIRST TIME only. screen resolution 1024x768 is not needed (THIS BUG)
4. I can't switch to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), doing so giving me some kind of aura-cloudy-rainbow in my LCD, and I'm *very* worried about that (bug report pending)
5. I don't want to logout, because after I logout I can't go back in. I can hear GDM sound, but GDM is not visible. I call this situation is system freeze. (#163192)

Attached is my xorg log using vesa on first login. (I can't logout because my system won't be usable past that point)
