Description
When the Display Wizard is started on my notebook, the screen is garbaged. The graphics chipset is drm0: <Mobile Intel\M-B\M-. GM45 Express Chipset> on vgapci0
Solution: Change to the console, delete /PCBSD/xorg-gui/.xstartupsuccess and kill X. When the Display Wizard gets restarted, it works correctly.
The strange thing about it is, that X initially works when the normal system installer is started.

Just committed a work-around for this bug. The display wizard now respects the VESA mode option you can set at the boot-loader prompt. If this is enabled, it'll default back to the failsafe vesa xorg.conf, and let you get past this error.

This problem still exists in PC-BSD 8.1.
