> Is there a way I can boot to a text console instead of a graphical console?
Yes, you can boot with the "text" option. At the command prompt you can then run "startx". Please attach the log from running with the default xorg.conf. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg Gents, I'm having major problems with xorg (1:7.4~5ubuntu3) in Ubuntu 8.10. Installed are two Number Nine Revolution IV LVD cards (plus 2 SGI 1600SW monitors), and with an adjusted xorg.conf this worked perfectly up to 8.04 (although both video cards and screens were not properly detected). 8.10 gives me neither a desktop nor a login prompt, and after fiddling around for some time I discovered that there seems to be a library problem: al...@nostromo:/etc$ sudo Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf X.Org X Server 1.5.2 Release Date: 10 October 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-19-server i686 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux nostromo 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 Build Date: 24 October 2008 08:00:16AM xorg-server 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3 ([email protected]) Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
