Finally saw hints to replace "nomodeset" with "i915,modeset=0" and i830
is now running.

I'd recommend "i915.modeset=0" be default for both i830 and i845 since
there's been persistent disabling X failures over Lucid, Karmic, Jaunty,
...  On Beta even ati Mobility 7500 failed which required
"radeon.modeset=0".

Three out of my four test pc's were disabled by Beta until these
commands were put into /etc/default/grub.  i830 wouldn't even boot in
"recovery" mode; I did "ssh" from another pc to make the changes.

Also there doesn't appear to be any way to communicate to us Beta users
that there's been a change and "nomodeset" has been replaced by
"i915.modeset=0", or if there was a concerted effort to tell us I missed
it.

Thanks to the Lucid forums (Yay!), I'm running again.

Jerry
