Public bug reported:

I've been testing 11.10 alpha and beta images on various hardware platforms I have access to.  The only one I'm having trouble with is a Dell Inspiron 531 system unit hooked to an HP w2408h LCD display.  Oneiric beta 1 and the 9/16/2011 daily image live 64-bit CD's produce massive video corruption on the "try ubuntu" boot choice.  Switching to a console terminal via Ctrl-Alt-F1 works fine.
I'll attach an Xorg.0.log file from the most recent boot attempt.  The problem seems to be with rendering; e.g. lots of blocky lines running down the left hand side of the screen.  Left clicking in regions where unity icons might be expected seems to launch applications, but the app windows display very squished and completely unusable.  The X cursor is normal and moves normally around the entire screen in response to the mouse.
