Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
When I install gutsy, either the alternate installer or the graphical installer, it gets to the point where it's installing the packages, and all of a sudden, goes into a "colored and gray blocks" mode. Switching between terminals, I can see the installer working, and it will install ok in the end, but it's all in these blocks, showing that something is wrong with the video. You can kind of tell what's going on, based on experience (i.e., you can see that it's proceeding line by line, and can see the pattern is supposed to be installation lines, etc.), and by hitting enter when you think it should be at the finishing point, it ejects the cd, etc., and on reboot, the xserver is fine.
Then later xserver crashes on logout about every other time (a different bug). Chipset is Intel 915GM on a Toshiba M55 laptop.
I guess that this is no duplicate of bug #127101 since it doesn't freeze system. Everything works fine except the graphic output.
