Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Installation from Xubuntu daily-live cd was not possible as X would not initialise the screen.
 Installation possible only via alternative cd, but X still not loading on reboot (after install)
Tried:
i) Different kernel, including from Jaunty
ii) Different xorg settings, vesa, nodri, removing all extra modules etc.
iii) Downgrading xserver components to jaunty versions --> worked
 
Problem solved by changing xorg version, and downgrading manually from synaptic.

Hardware is Vaio PCG-XR9Z/K, PIII w intel chipset and S3 Savage video
card

dmesg reported mttr problems, but so does working X
