A friend of mine got the same crash on his Dell Latitude laptop just
last night when trying to install Feisty (I have an Inspiron, it's not
the same laptop as his). It seems that ubuntu's X will crash if the LCD
is widescreen, e.g. 1440x900.
Please note that the 915resolution was NOT needed in our case to make it work.
Instead, we had to manually edit the v/hsync of the monitor in the xorg.conf.
In my case and my friend's, the following numbers worked for us:
HorizSync 30-80
VertRefresh 60-70
I hope a fixed driver or X is uploaded before the release of Feisty,
because this seems to affect a lot of users, particularly DELL
widescreen laptop uses.
