I'm having the same problem using the Kubuntu Intrepid RC1 Installation CD. The (k)ubuntu installer fails to launch (even when vesa safe graphics mode is selected), and I am presented with a black screen (with a blinking cursor).

Switching to a terminal and executing startx yields:
(EE) No device detected.
Fatal server error:
No screens found.

Looking at the Xorg log file (attached), the problem seems to be similar to that described by Jean-Baptiste Lallement.

Because this behavior severely affects ubuntu's installation process, it should (IMO) be fixed before release.
