Thanks for reporting these issues in X and helping to make Ubuntu
better. For better tracking purposes, in the future please report each
independent issue as a separate bug report.
It sounds like the principle main issue is that the bulletproof-x mode
was looping and could not be easily shut off. So let's focus this bug
report on that.
I've made some alterations to the way bulletproof-x works, such that it
now keeps track of the last time it tried running, and if it tried
already within 30 seconds, to exit and go to the old gdm error screen.
That's not ideal but it's certainly better than looping endlessly.
For the other issues you reported...
Regarding the custom monitor detection issue, a mechanism has been added
to upload the *.inf from your windows driver disk in this situation.
However you are correct there should also be a way to manually type in
this info. I have moved this sub-issue to bug 148841 against
displayconfig-gtk.
Regarding the specific lack of a Compaq P1100, please enter a new bug on
this against the displayconfig-gtk package, and upload your *.inf (if
you have it). This way we can add it to Ubuntu's database so you don't
need to manually enter it in the future.
Note that bulletproof-x always backs up your original (seemingly broken)
xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.N, so you will be able to recover it
manually, so loss of your previous xorg.conf should not be an issue.
Regarding the fglrx breakage with X850, this should be filed against
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22. In that report please include your
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output from lspci -vvnn. Note though that
since flgrx is a proprietary binary driver, there is a limited amount we
can do to help solve issues with it.
