Ubuntu's BulletProofX Takes Simpler Step Forward

,----[ Quote ]
| Introduced in Ubuntu 7.10 was a feature known as BulletProofX, which provides
| a fail-safe mode that is by default used when the X server fails to properly
| initialize. In this original implementation, it would default back to using
| the VESA display driver with 256 colors and then proceed to run the
| displayconfig-gtk utility. While this is nice for the end-user as it keeps
| them from touching a terminal to debug an X server problem, for experienced
| users it inhibits them from easily debugging the problem. This Canonical
| implementation also had frustrated other users. However, with the forthcoming
| Ubuntu 8.10 release, it has received some much-needed improvements while
| making BulletProofX more simple.
