I can confirm this bug; Unity, on the desktop, sucks.
There needs to be a more intuitive way to find the equivalent of Gnome's
Preferences and Administration.
Removing Gnome desktop was a big mistake.
The patch I recommend is to going back to Debian.

Similar problem here, Nvidia agp card on a 32bit AMD.
On a fresh install of karmic, the live CD works fine. The initial

The 2 resulting iso images DIFFERED.

The scanbuttond workaround worked for me too (LiDE25 scanner).
I installed the package scanbuttond with synaptic.
I entered the command
scanbuttond
as a normal user from a Terminal window.
Magically both xsane and xscanimage started working,
both as a standalone and with gimp.
Kooka worked
I was checking my X server configuration for Feisty with the command,
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

When I got to the modules part type1 was missing (I've seen type1 in other
versons).
Is the module type1 needed for ppracer to render fonts?

It appears to be some problem with initializing the scanner.

Same here with a LiDE25. I did an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty with 'Update
Manager'.
This sanner worked fine with Edgy.
Here's the problem with Feisty using xsane:
1. Xsane starts OK
2. Xsane appears to recognise the scanner as LiDE25.
3. When I click 'Acquire preview' there is about a 30
With the same LiDE25/computer I was also able to get successful scans
with scanimage (from the sane-utils package).
To scan an image into the file image.pnm I used this:
scanimage image.pnm
This resulted in a small scanned area from the corner.
To get a full page scan I used the -x and -y

Here is what I tried (Matrox g400)
using the regular distro packages/modules.
I shut down X (killall gdm)
I used modconf to load matroxfb_base.
I restarted X (gdm).
X works but still no 3D acceleration.
I shut down X again.
I used 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to use the kernel
Fred:
I still couldn't get it to work.
I used modconf to load matroxfb_base.
I edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer and commented out 'blacklist
matroxfb_base', i.e.
# blacklist matroxfb_base.
I configured xorg.conf with Option UseFBDev true .
I rebooted. I got the same very dark boot
