A random observations: when 12.10 is run from a live-usb with ubiquity- only option, gmas3600_gfx gets loaded and installer launches (and completes) with proper resolution. However, triyng to load complete DE results in failure. Lightdm, gdm, xdm all die, but with slightly differing results. Lightdm freezes and gdm/xdm end to terminal with a login prompt.
