Comment 2 for bug 949071

I started another thread on the hlep section here.

Another thing I noticed is that after I improperly modified xorg.conf and could not boot being stuck at "checking battery state ok"

I restarted with and selected the second menu line. (forget what grub calls it), anyhow I was eventually given several boot options, and when I choose 'failsafe graphics', with the extra line

Modeline "1600x1200" 301.81 1600 1752 2120 2808 1200 1200 1204 1264

in xorg.conf, failsafe graphics failed to load the gui to login.
To me, that is a bug. Failsafe graphics should not load any xorg.cong dont you think?

I had to drop to root login and rm xorg.cong in etc/X11. Then it booted ok.
