Richard:

Yes, we share the same vidchip and rev. And my xorg.conf was changed to match yours. What happens now is I get a screen that starts off looking OK, but then pops up a message box for either "User switcher has quit unexpectedly" or "Internal Error filed to initialize HAL!" The mouse cursor is locked and ctl-alt-bksp has no effect, but I can get to VTs and do magic-sysreq operations.

I'm not installing - I'm running Live. What I'd like to do, for testing, is boot into rescue mode, fix xorg.conf, and then run a little script at VT1 that will take me into a normal gdm login. Can't figure out what bits and pieces (HAL, sessionmanager, startx) have to be invoked in what order to get me there.

Will get the RC and test some more on Saturday
