Using a DELL laptop M1210 with an Intel chip set. Upstart gets the wrong screen resolution for the "failsafe" mode which it uses to try and tell me that Ubuntu is using low resolution mode. I'm left looking at a mushed up display. Attempts to reach a console are in vain as all I can get are blank screens.

Booting with a 2.6.28 kernel was the only way I could get any sense out of the system. Both 2.6.31-14 and 2.6.31-15 displayed the same symptoms.

Now rolled back the X updates (as per post 19) and I've got a working system again using 2.6.31-14.
