This is how you can test the previous patch with QEMU: 1. create an empty floppy image (dd if=/dev/zero of=fd.img bs=1k count=1440) 2. format it with mkfs.vfat 3. loop mount it somewhere 4. put xserver-xorg.config.patch there 5. umount it 6. boot a Feisty Herd1 desktop CD image with qemu: $ qe

I don't understand how it is "undecided". It probably affects 15% of everyone who tries to install Ubuntu. The 15% includes people with NVIDIA cards that cause garbling with the nv driver, and other cards that do not work properly by default. -- "Safe graphics mode" doesn't use VESA https://lau
