Note that further comments were added to Bug #689377 today, as further
problems appeared. I don't think these problem were due to the display
driver, but they do affect testing of display problems somewhat, and
vice versa. For example, if the xorg.conf file is removed, it's not
possible to go into safe mode, because the selection of safe and other
modes is in a bottom bar, which is off the screen when the system tries
to start in 1600x1200 mode.

So THIS bug is very much alive in the sense that being able to get a
useable screen mode at initial startup is important.

On another system, poor resolution detection at startup resulted in a
800x600 screen on a 1024x768 monitor - this was acceptable, since adding
an xorg.conf file meant that only the login screen was at the lower
resolution, and that was quite useable. But this is not. The situation
would be much worse with KDE, with the panel at the bottom of the
screen.
