This should be using the i915 driver, but
Is ther a way to tell whether the DVD does not
have i915 or has i915 and botches?

may
explain some of your symptoms and has links to troubleshooting
examples. I remember fighting with graphics on similar systems at work

Expected when using VESA.
Wasn't to me, especially since VESA found 1440x900 .
Also virtual console 3 gives me 1440 horizontal pixels:
160 9 pixel wide characters.
I think that the screen from which I
select run or install is a grub menu.
In any case, tab allows me to select kernel parameters.
Assuming I can get to another virtual console from there,
can I do something to make it work?
I'm going to try something now,
so might not be reading the list for a while.
