I was able to get the 2011-07-20 build of 10.04.3 to boot, using roughly
the same tricks that I used for another system described in bug#707755,
on a Compaq system.

For the live-CD boot line, I hit F6 and selected 'nomode' set. For the
rest of the command line, I removed 'quiet' and 'splash' and added
'text' and 'vga=771'. 'text' brings the system up in a shell, so I am
able to add an xorg.conf file, and 'vga=771' gives me a text display
which fits on the screen (the default goes off the bottom of the
screen).

Then I used scp to copy a basic xorg.conf file, specifying admissible
screen modes, into /etc/X11. Having done that, I ran gdm to start the X
display. It came up properly.

I've attached xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log, and Xorg.0.log.old in a tar file.

This bug was fixed in 11.04 and 11.10 releases - it should have been
backported, as suggested in #166.
