I get "vesa" by specifying it in xorg.conf.
With no xorg.conf ran fine yesterday, KMS and all. Did updates today and X fails. Only get a command line mode and startx won't. Lots of complaints in .xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log see attachments to comment #219.

I tried i915.modeset=0 with no xorg.conf and X failed.

It runs now with "vesa" and just specifying "quiet" in the grub boot line. I don't have any use for "splash".

I'm not a developer so I don't know which of the many updates caused the trouble. I tried going back to kernel 2.6.35-19 and it doesn't work either although it did yesterday. I looked at the intel driver version and it was the same today as yesterday.

I did and do have system, preferences, appearance, visual effects, none. I haven't used Compiz since it broke intel video graphics in Intrepid.
