With Lucid Alpha 3 things have got worse. Xorg crashes each time the
LiveCD "ubuntu" user tries to log-in, resulting in the user returning to
the standard GDM log-in screen. Manual attempts to log-in result in the
same Xorg crash and restart of GDM. There appear to be a lot of similar
reports for installed alpha-3 too (#532183, #532173, #532047 ...).

Additionally, the tty consoles become invisible when doing a
Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6 switch. The user can type blindly but sees nothing.

Using this 'facility' I was able to do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-
get install openssh-server" and subsequently connect to the SRX51 from
another PC using SSH (after a blind "sudo passwd ubuntu"). I pulled the
contents of /var/log/ as a tgz archive and the ubuntu ".xsession-errors"
log. The Xorg logs show input device errors but nothing definite on the
reason for the crash, e.g:

(EE) PreInit returned NULL for ""Macintosh mouse button emulation""

>From an apport.log entry it looks to be gnome-panel failing:

apport (pid 3302) Fri Mar  5 08:02:22 2010: wrote report /var/crash
/_usr_bin_gnome-panel.999.crash

Until these issues are resolved it isn't possible to diagnose this
screen resolution problem.
