Bryce, Comment # 60, I tried "vesa" on Compaq with 1440:900 ration 16:10
ran fine gdm, FireFox, YouTube flash video.  TV-Viewer didn't run
because it couldn't find /dev/video0.

Preferences Monitor said it was unknown but did get the resolution
correct at 1440:900.  Visual appearance just like using ati driver.

GtkPerf ran 12.34 seconds with "vesa" which is faster than ati video
driver at 14.01 seconds.  It's ati Radeon Xpress 200.

Only reason I bring this up is over the years with Ubuntu "X" has not
been stable many many times, and apparently the direction of Ubuntu is
to depend more and more on "X" with KMS and you'd know what else is
coming.
