I can confirm this bug on my Thinkpad R31 with an Intel Corporation 82830 CGC (i830M) Chipset when starting the Hoary (8.04 LTS) Alpha3 Desktop CD.
1. The screen get's completely white after some seconds of being spotted and patchy with white, red, blue and yellow dots. 2. It is possible to switch to the vga console via <Strg+Alt+F[1-6|8]. When doing this, the screen is scrambled for a few seconds, but the console becomes completely useable after this short period of time. 3. Gdm seams to be running: "ps x" shows the according desktop programs (panel, applets, deskbar,...). 4. It is not possible to get X11 run by modprobing e.g. i810 an alter the xorg.conf. If I do this, and e.g. restarting gdm or <Strg+Alt+BAckspace>, I am getting the curser "X", and a little (scrambled) info "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" after 3 "auto- attempts" to start xorg. The screen gets immediately unusable, frozen, and scrambled again like in [1.]. I included a file with two screenshots showing the white screen, and a second one after switching aroud. The second one shows a "frozen" and scrambled sreenshot of the desktop (I only took a picture of the upper left corner) which becomes white after a short period of time as described in [1.].
