Binary package hint: xorg

I'm testing out the Lucid beta by booting from a USB drive. Initial splash screen displays progress. When boot up sequence switches to the X display, the screen becomes corrupted. There are portions of the screen from the last time the system ran, but they are scattered across the screen. I can hear the Ubuntu startup sounds, so the system is coming up. However, I'm not able to access anything on the screen so I can't open a terminal to enter any commands. I'm also not able to switch to a tty. Hitting ctrl-alt-f1 - f6 do nothing.

Any clues on how I can debug this.
