** Description changed:

  I'm trying 8.10 beta on my new laptop.
  After booting, I am presented with a white screen. Nothing in it. Just white. 
Not even the mouse pointer.
  I killed kdm and launched startx myself, with the same result.
  
  I'm sorry if I don't give you more info, but I'm no expert and this is
  the first time I file a bug...
+ 
+ I could reproduce the same effect on 8.04 (kubuntu) following this
+ procedure:
+ 
+ 1) normal boot
+ 2) install binary driver with automatic procedure
+ 3) setup desktop effect
+ 4) install 2.6.27-rc3
+ 5) reboot with the new kernel
+ 
+ My (naive) guess is that something goes wrong when the desktop is
+ configured to use 3d acceleration and the corresponding driver is not
+ found.
  
  I hope this helps.
  
  I can do more tests if you have suggestions of course.
  
  Thanks for your help,
  
  Andrea.
