Hi
I downloaded 9.04 beta last night, i386 version.
I've just tried on a Dell machine, as a live cd , not much good as it 
only starts in low res mode..
When installed it got as far as starting X, then failed with:-
"failed to pin front buffer: could not allocate memory"
"fatal server error
Couldn't bind memory to BO front buffer.
 From the log the graphics controller is Intel 82865G, and the problem 
occurred after loading the 865G module. Of course nothing editable to 
get around it as I didn't have root privileges to edit the xorg.conf file.

Is this a known bug or do I file a new bug report ?
