SOLVED

Hi again.  Sorry about the last two comments.  I was in a carpool on
CA-17 when I wrote them.  I think.  Anyway, I tried many of the above on
my LT3103u and the only one that worked for me was passing nomodeset
(not any of the modeset=0 variants) on the kernel commandline (first
tested interactively by catching grub in the act of booting, and then by
putting it in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg via /etc/default/grub and update-
grub).

For completeness, and to help out others who come across this via web
search, here's the chip in question:

$ lspci|grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]

And I am in fact running 32 bit Lucid on this 64 bit machine, not 31 bit
;-)

Now that this issue is solved, I'm ready to bump the distro back up a
notch (I'd downgraded to try to get this resolved)

Oh, and for the record, it made no difference on this machine whether I
was an upgraded user or a newly created user.

Tony
