Title: Ubuntu's BulletProofX Takes Simpler Step Forward ( -at -) Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12860
Summary: "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."
