Start kernel with nomodeset and graphics corruption stops but then no video in totem except for full screen.

I notice you have virtualbox-ose installed, which brings in its own video drivers. Can you try again with that removed?

Removing virtualbox-ose did not help. Downgrading to GLX version: 1.2 appears to fix it.

Well, I think this helps justify the decision to revert the glx 1.4 changes. Seems it's just not stable enough. But this decision is going to be covered on another bug report.

xorg-server (2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7) lucid; urgency=low

  * Drop 117_fix_crash_with_createglyphset.patch
    - Dupe of patch 110
  * Drop 03_fedora_glx_versioning.diff, 04_fedora_glx14-swrast.diff
    - These patches were brought in by Debian to provide glx 1.4 support
      which Fedora backported from xserver 1.8, however testing in
      Ubuntu showed they caused a crash when closing Clutter apps (#550218),
      and graphics corruption when opening windows. Dropping these patches
      returns us to GLX 1.2, which has been found to be stable; Debian has
      also dropped these two patches.
      (Fixes #565903).
  * Drop 114_dri2_make_sure_x_drawable_exists.patch
    - This was an early attempt by upstream which fixed the aforementioned
      Clutter crash, but which introduced a memory leak.
      (Fixes #565981)
