I have a very similar problem. When trying to boot Lucid post alpha 3, the
display shuts down after start of a boot, and turns on after a wile with
corrupted screen (desktop wallpaper mashed up with other colors), and I don't
hear the login sound, and can't see and use mouse or panels, icons.....
When booting with nomodeset=0 I can use the system with vesa loaded. The laptop
is Acer Extensa 5635G with Nvidia G 105M. This laptop has corrupted EDID. I
know that because I was having problem with Nvidia propertary driver which,
when used, divided my display to 6 little screens with resolution 640*480.
Nvidia guy's said that this was occurring because EDID was invalid and they
made workaround for this bug in last beta driver.
Here is the xrandr --verbose while in vesa:
