Seeking some advice

Here is the situation.

I am using a live persistent USB of the Lubuntu quantal desktop amd64
20120819 to

run live and install test cases. Presently I using a Dell D620 and
Lenovo T61p to do full

hardware installs.  The Dell D620 boots up live with no problem, but
the Lenovo with

nvidia graphics requires me to set F6 "nomodeset" to get the Live
session working.

Now with all that said a week ago I did not have to set the
"nomodeset" on the Lenovo

to get the live session working.  It is not really a big problem for
me as I have worked

through the issue, but I can see where a new user with a Lenovo kit
with nvidia graphic

might have a difficult time.

I guess I am wondering should a bug be filed against the kernel as it
appear to be a

regression?
