When the box boots up in a non-graphical mode:
1: what is the output of "runlevel"?
2: are there any relevant logfiles out in /var/log that
related to the X server? Can you show us these?
On my system these appear in a file with a named like
/var/log/Xorg.0.log (but I'm not currently running Ubuntu).
3: is there any relevant stuff in /var/log/messages ?
4: what happens when you type "telinit 5"?
