Comment 23 for bug 274340

I'm having the same problem: X server locking up.

I have a VIA EPIA 10000 mobo.
It's a home brew with a LCD 1280x1024 connected to VGA.

Booted via PXE using the Xubuntu Intrepid Live image downloaded about a week ago.

Can boot to console, but when I bring up the X server it locks and Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc it needed.

It also causes kernel panic if I just let it try to boot GUI normally.

This worked on Hardy, but it gets the res wrong (1280x960 instead of the native 1280x1024).

A couple of lines in the xorg.conf cures the resolution issue, but it still hangs the X server.

I'll post some logs in a bit.
