Notes
The GeForce version requires the newest beta-driver from NVidia. I recommend envy for installation, see http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html -- it builds deb packages for the newest driver and installs them.
To get Feisty working you could try the following
1. Use text based install from alternate CD via textmode
2. After reboot, switch to the command line (CTRL+ALT+F1) and update the kernel
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
3. Install the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
and reconfigure the xorg.conf
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Select the intel driver and set the color depth to 16 bits.
4. reboot and the xserver works but you don't get power management. To get the Power Management working:
add line "blacklist video" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove acpi=off
Reboot and you should have a working Feisty desktop
