Comment 90 for bug 509273

Just tried the latest (14th) Ubuntu Daily LiveCD and using "nomodeset" doesn't even get me to the desktop now, the display doesn't kick in after the splash. And without nomodeset gets me there only for the display to switch itself off after a few minutes, which is different than the screen freezing and becoming garbled, but the end result is the same.

So whatever the most recent changes were, they've been a regression for me, as at least with nomodeset I could have a fully working desktop experience (no resume from Suspend is another bug).
