Meu notebook é um tanto imprevisível. Com o comando original do início do tópico consegui instalar o Ubuntu 8.10 normalmente com apenas um equívoco de resolução de tela... algo mínimo. Porém, não pude inicia-lo, tampouco com o Live Cd do Intrepid Ibex, porém com o do Hardy Heron funcionou.
Depois de editar o xorg com a opção para quem já tem o sistema instalado, consegui chegar à tela de reconfiguração gráfica. Porém... uma nova opção apareceu:
(Usar padrão), reconfigurar 1 e reconfigurar 2... não pude anotar os detalhes porque depois de escolher a opção reconfigurar 1 a tela travou e ao reinicializar o sistema não retornou àquele modo. Segue o
lspci e o
xorg:

---------------------Lembrando que para modificar o xorg primeiro montei o disco rígido com 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' e depois digitei 'sudo nano /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf'... que aprendi num tutorial do
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=478560&page=2... fiz também sem montar o disco... ambos os casos depois reiniciando com o LiveCD do Ubuntu 8.04.1 o
xorg voltara para a configuração postada acima.
Logo, ficou assim:
