| oddities, so I may not have gotten to the bottom of the problem.

| I think RHEL 6 was using the native Intel video driver, not VESA.
I ran memtest86+ from the Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit install CD and in pass
0, test 5 it found 5 errors. On pass 1, nothing.
So I rebooted RHEL 6.0 beta. It dropped int the text console because
it felt that it couldn't automatically repair the filesystem. After
fscking and rebooting, it seems to work.
I wonder what's going on with this box.
The "intel" xorg driver works.
It chose the native resolution of my monitor, 1920x1200 @ 60Hz.
In /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the driver says that the chipset is "Pineview G".
(lspci says Intel Corporation N19 Family Integrated Graphics
Controller (rev 02))
The X.Org X Server is 1.7.7
Release Date: 2010-05-04
The intel module version is 2.11.0
Dave: how does this compare with what you are running?
