[Bug 40770] Re: machine locks on first boot

[Matthew Garrett]

Ok, this is likely to be a bug in the VIA video driver. If you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change 

Driver "via"

to

Driver "vesa"

does X start? If so, it's certainly a buggy driver.

** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: gdm => xserver-xorg-driver-via
Binarypackagename: gdm => None
