in ubiquity-dm installer, we pre-empt lightdm. Then execute "plymouth deactivate" followed by "plymouth quit" if plymouth does not have an active-vt. Then we start Xorg straight away, if Xorg fails to start, we retry with modified 'fallback' configs using fbdev and finally vesa. I guess in ubiquity-dm we can hit this race as there is nothing else running on the system. Should we do a loop and try starting X a couple of times before trying fallback configs?
