Bug#866348: Resolved

[Michael Redman <michael.redman.4@gmail.com>]

This issue can be resolved by:

(1) leaving "Standard System Utilities" selected during installation 
instead of deselecting for minimal install

(2) adding "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep" to /etc/default/grub, running 
update-grub, and rebooting. (grub had always recognized the card/screen 
correctly, but Linux had not).

Interestingly it did not work to install the standard utilities after 
system installation with apt-get install `tasksel --task-packages 
standard` (still got Xorg segfault). Had to install them during initial 
install.
