Is it not possible to switch to a console with ctrl-alt-F1?

I was hoping you could get X running with the vesa driver, and then
install the patched driver from the internet. If you have it already
downloaded on the hard drive, that's even better, especially in the case
vesa won't work. As long as you can log in on the console, that is.

Then mount your hard drive with "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" (replace
sda1 with the name of the right partition) and install the driver with
"sudo dpkg -i /mnt/home/peter/Desktop/xserver-xorg-video-savage*" or
whatever is the right path to the deb package.
