Perhaps Ubuntu developers could go ahead and detect the two cards
installed and blacklist the intel_agp kernel module by default.

It's a show stopper.  It even exits in every distribution using the
auto-module loading.

Slackware and Windows of all things will ignore it and only load the VGA
driver by default.  It's a good policy until we can get things
installed.


There are a few ways to handle this.   
1. Continue forcing people to press F6 then ESC and finally type in  
intel_agp.blacklist=yes 
2. Put a notation in the boot menu's help text about the blacklist options
3. Default to VGA only giving then user a menu to choose the optimal driver 
where upon they log out and back into the live cd session.  Next taking note of 
the selection and if it succeeded before the installation and utilizing the 
choice afterwards.


I think version 10.10 is black-listing older Intel graphics chipsets by default 
which will aid in resolving the issue.   But don't quote me on it I just 
remember reading it somewhere.
