I had the same problem, and it happened because I installed fglrx and tried to re-run X without rebooting the machine.
(I know that the usual driver packages can load fglrx without rebooting (in fact, they can even load it in-place), but in this case it obviously didn't work). So the solution that worked for me was shutting down X, completely reinstalling fglrx, and then rebooting the machine. Upon reboot, the graphics/gdm started properly, under fglrx, and things like glxgears/xdriinfo etc. worked without problems: 1. Enter/switch to text mode 2. sudo stop gdm 2. sudo apt-get --purge remove fglrx 3. sudo rm -rf /usr/lib*/fglrx 4. sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf 5. sudo apt-get install fglrx 6. sudo aticonfig --initial 7. sudo reboot -- no 3d support after fglrx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
