Colin, yes this sounds muchly like bug 127008 (install from alternate CD
+ issue during configuration of xserver-xorg).  In fact I anticipated
this might occur:

"One thing I've wondered is other laptops with different gfx chipsets
may be experiencing problems like these (but with different symptoms.)
So, it'd be good to keep an eye out for any bugs that are occurring for
non-intel laptops doing the alternate text install and appearing late in
the install process; we could expand this patch to include those cases
as well."

I suspect this may be one of those cases.

Mike Chapman, can you please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`?  I'll
use review this to determine your graphics chipset, and adjust xresprobe
to also apply our fix for it.

Of course, for Hardy, it's likely we'll end up dropping use of xresprobe
entirely, thus making this issue irrelevant, but I'd still like to
ensure we have everything to fix the bug even if we don't drop
xresprobe, for completeness' sake.
