Thanks for the information Cristian. Attached is a failsafeX-backup-081022221648.694.tar file that contains the :0.log, Xorg.0.log, and xorg.conf files generated by my live cd session using the 10/22/08 daily intrepid desktop i386 iso image.
The system I am trying to run this live cd on uses an integrated NVIDIA GeForce 7050 PV chipset. I'm looking at my Xorg.0.log file and see: (II) LoadModule: "nv" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so (II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.5.0, module version = 2.1.10 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 4.1 and then a large list of NVIDIA chipsets, but nowhere in this large list is "7050". Also, I do not see an entry for "7150" which is the chip that Dolomite reports having when this bug was filed. I don't see any Geforce 70** or 71** series chips listed. Maybe there's some problem with the installer trying to use the 'nv' driver for those of us with a Geforce 70** or 71** video chip? Or maybe we with 70** and 71** should not even be defaulting to the "nv" driver? Is there a developer who can look into this more closely? It does look like a very manual workaround is available (manually updating xorg.conf during the install), but this was something that was working find in 8.04 and is now broken. I'll be happy to shut up as soon as someone asks me to. Also, apologies if I'm hijacking this bug report, but it does seem like we're all related.
