I've had the 'Option "modeSwitch" "new"' in xorg.conf already.

What is happening with the 2.6.32-12-generic kernel is that the screen
starts getting dark (mostly dark gray) after selecting the recovery
mode, but I can type commands 'blind' to start up Xorg - first
selecting the root shell from the menu, then entering my root
password, then running a script which starts up some daemons - and
then the login screen will appear. So it doesn't really hang up in
recovery mode, I just can't see what I am typing.

The time it takes to get dark seems to vary. I think this is a viafb
driver problem - does that sound right? Up to a day or so ago, the
Xorg.0.log was showing a failure to find viafb when booting failed, a
number of times. Now I've been seeing situations where Xorg.0.log is
empty, instead.

I'm sending this from another computer - I'll log in to launchpad on
the laptop and attach the .xsession-errors and latest  Xorg.0.log
files now.

It's completely normal that you lose data on "Windows" platforms.
That's why you have a UNIX or Linux or BSD server for backups.
