Daily live image maverick-desktop-i386.iso of June 16 (IIRC), md5sum 07e0f66b07f996d1479855cbc7052be3.
(Ubuntu this time, instead of Kubuntu.)

"Try Ubuntu without installing", with no options changed: I hear the
Ubuntu start-up sound, but the screen is still black.

 Again, with "quiet splash" removed from the boot options: boot messages
scroll across the screen before it goes black.  The screen stays black
after the Ubuntu start-up sound.

Again, with "quiet splash" removed and with "nomodeset" selected: boot messages, then many other messages, and color splashes across the screen.  Then a dialog!
  Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode
  Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings
  could not be detected correctly.  You will need to
  configure these yourself. [OK]

  What would you like to do? - Troubleshoot the error
  What information would you like to review? - Review the xserver log file

Some messages that caught my eye:

Fatal server error: no screens found.

"Review the startup errors" shows an empty dialog box.

"Archive configuration and logs" brings up an amusing dialog:
  Relevant configuration and log files have been saved to:
  $xorg_backup_file
  Bug reports can be submitted at http://www.launchpad.net/ubuntu.
So where is $xorg_backup_file?

  Image maverick-desktop-i386.iso, md5sum d3d2cce04cd8fc4a75138f93cd1bf3e3
  
  I made a USB key and booted an HP Elitebook 8440p model WH255UT#ABA.
  (Chipset: Mobile Intel QM57 Express, graphics: Intel Graphics Media
  Accelerator HD.)  I selected "Try Kubuntu without installing".  The
  screen flashed repeatedly, then showed a blinking underscore cursor,
  then turned black.  After some seconds I heard the KDE start-up sound,
  but the screen stayed black. Ctrl-Alt-F1 did nthing.
  
  With "splash" removed from the boot options, the result was the same.
  With "nomodeset" selected, the screen showed the "Ubuntu" boot screen, then flashed and went black.  No sound played, and odd colors slowly faded in.
  With "nomodeset" and no "splash", the screen showed boot messages, went black, and faded in odd colors.  No sound played.
  
  In short, this is just like Lucid bug 557744.
