Public bug reported: Due to Bug #926007, I'm forced to use fbdev on this laptop in order to use X. In normal use it works okay, but when I boot in recovery mode, the resume normal boot option fails to launch X. Instead it launches the low graphics mode dialog, and if I switch to VT-1, the screen becomes garbled.
Xorg log says the problem is it can't open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory. I'll attach the log below. It doesn't matter whether or not I use the other options the recovery ncurses menu offers; X won't start properly unless I reset and boot normally (i.e. not in recovery mode).
